internship year
Explanation:
Some universities allow students to work in their field for a year between two years of courses.

There has even been a recent development which offers students
in their third year of study the choice of an ‘année d’alternance’, i.e. a year-long placement in industry
where they get involved in genuine management tasks.

(not referring to medical internship)

The Faculty of Science offers an internship program which features the Industrial Practicum (4 months) and the INTERNSHIP YEAR in Science (8, 12, 16 months). Participating in an internship offers you the chance to add a practical element to your studies, to solidify your career goals, to gain some valuable experience and to earn money.

It will also give you the opportunity to enhance your degree: if you complete two IPs or participate in an IYS, the name of your program will change to include the word internship (e.g. Bachelor of Science - Internship Program - Biology).

Explanation:
This is the UK English version.

"You will start your search for a placement at the beginning of your second year. It will be your responsibility to find a job for your sandwich year but you will be given support and guidance from our dedicated Placement Unit staff in your search to secure a placement.

"A placement must last for a minimum of 48 weeks to count towards your sandwich degree.

Placements should be paid (if you consider an unpaid placement, you must contact the Unit to discuss).

You are entitled to half your student loan whilst you are on placement."
