If you’re a current student planning to do a placement or short-term work experience abroad, you might need to complete a Convention de Stage or a similar agreement like a Convenio de Colaboracion. This is a common requirement in European countries.
The agreement involves the student, the University, and the host employer. Your experience needs to be approved by the Head of your department before any signing by all parties.
Please enquire about a Convention de Stage by emailing: workexperience@contacts.bham.ac.uk, where a template can be obtained. Once approval is granted, the template will be provided to the Head of the Department for signing. You will then need to sign it. You will then send it to your employer for signing.
