Princeton in France (PIF) Internships
(Aix-en-Provence, France)
Description
Princeton in France (PIF) is a unique internship opportunity open to students enrolled in Aix-en- Provence 207F. Administered through the International Internship Program (IIP) in partnership with the Department of French and Italian, PIF internships are 4 weeks, and their goal is to introduce students to French culture and prioritize the cultural immersion experience.
Eligibility
Students enrolled in 207F will automatically have the option to apply for a Princeton in France internship in Aix-en-Provence, which would immediately follow the 207F program. However, participation in the additional 4-week internship program is not a requirement for FRE 207F, nor is an internship guaranteed.
Application Process
Students interested in Princeton in France will first need to apply to FRE-207F, where they can indicate their intention to pursue a PIF internship. There is no separate application for the Princeton in France internship. Once accepted to the language immersion program, students interested in PIF will meet with IIP advisers to discuss their internship choices and write an intention letter/cover letter for their preferred internship. IIP will attempt to place students in the most appropriate internship available.
Internship Requirements
● Students should complete the Princeton in France Internship Application in GPS.
Students who are interested in an eight-week internship in France should learn more about the opportunities through the IIP office.
