As a partner to companies since its creation, LIAT supports you on a daily basis and encourages you to make the most of our young talent, so that you can build teams today that are fit for the world of tomorrow, which will depend heavily on AI, data science and cybersecurity.
Education at LIAT is punctuated by 2 to 6 months of internship in companies for the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. These internships allow students to put in practice the skills they have built and prepare them to gradually enter the professional life. All students sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before starting the internship.
LIAT encourages students to gain as much as experience during their enrollment in our programs, by completing both short-term and long-term internships.
Internships can be carried out in companies or in research laboratories.

An oral defense of the internship report in from a jury is also performed as part of the assessment of the bachelor’s degree.
A 4 to 6-months internship completes the Master’s degree. This can take place anywhere in the world, in companies or accredited universities or industrial research labs. This internship allows students to apply the knowledge acquired in data science, AI, cybersecurity, applied mathematics and computer science during the Master’s programs. The topic of the internship must be related to the specialization chosen by the student. The student writes a master’s thesis or report which is evaluated by a jury. The thesis or report is subject to an oral defense in front of a jury that will give the student the opportunity to present the main aspects of their work. The report or thesis is part of the educational requirements to fulfill the Master’s degree at LIAT.
By combining the internships in the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, students at LIAT benefit from nearly a year of varied professional experiences. This is a real advantage for their entry into the professional world.
LIAT organizes “Company-Student” meetings to introduce students to:
These events are also an opportunity for students to improve their knowledge of digital technologies, cybersecurity, and AI, to understand the challenges in the industry and to identify career opportunities after their education and graduation.
For companies, these evens help them to optimize their hiring process, allowing them to make faster and more accurate decisions compared to just reviewing resumés submitted on their website. These pre-hiring interviews allow students to bypass the resumé barrier and showcase their skills and expertise to their potential employers.
