About our VoIP students

Students at workThe LP ISVD (Intégration des Systèmes Voix et Données) is a 3-year course specialising in Voice over IP implementation. It is roughly equivalent in content and level to a British B.Eng or a Professional Grade. Students are required to attend a wide range of courses in specialised technical domains. The bias is on practical work.

The IUT has established partnerships with local companies, providing our department with quality equipment but also pedagogical collaboration with professionals.

There is no obligation on your part, even though it would be greatly appreciated… Alternatively, you could also decide to pay him/her on merit, at the end of the placement, or provide some help towards accommodation and food.
Our students are allowed to apply for grants through our university which could help cover their living costs. In order to apply for those grants, they will need a copy of the Training Agreement, which is why we usually insist on your sending us this agreement as early as possible.

The placement lasts from early May to the end of August.

Once you have agreed to taking a student on a placement, perhaps following a telephone interview, you will be sent a Training Agreement by the university. This agreement will contain the following information :

  • the student's name and details as well as the company's name and address
  • the name of our university
  • the name of the degree
  • the name of a supervisor in the company and at the university with a possible topic
  • the dates of the placement/internship
  • the obligation for the student to have his own insurance
  • the obligation for the student of writing a final report
