There are two types of schools: those which prepare for careers and those which shape destinies. ILERI is a place which does not only pave the way for exceptional professions, it is above all a place where young people change the course of their lives: at ILERI they choose to become committed world citizens.
ILERI is a place where, since 1948, humanist values have thrived, and thanks to this, the institute gives its graduates the most precious resource: a high commitment to the respect for others and a strong desire to frequent them, to unite with them, to understand their culture, to build the future with them, to organize the world, to generate riches, to eradicate hatred, fighting and war. ILERI therefore has a duty to have the best academic level in order to equip those who will leave with the most reliable knowledge in order to play an important role in international institutions, in companies, in NGOs, throughout the world. Its prestigious faculty is the irrefutable guarantee of the quality of ILERI’s academic programme.
Very quickly, ILERI students discover a specificity of this institute, one never leaves it. One carries it within oneself forever.

INTERNSHIPS
Internships at ILERI are carried out by preference of geography, of language, of interest in the career and are part of the steps that are exceptional and essential for building one’s experience.
40 weeks of experience to acquire an excellent knowledge of the professional world, understand the stakes of international activity and develop a sense of responsibility and decisiveness for action taking.
These take place in both cycles and are an integrant part of the ILERI syllabus. Students can gain from an opening to an active working life and prepare them directly for international careers.
Internships duration
ILERI students are required to do a minimum of four internships during their five years of study:
- 4 weeks minimum in Bachelor 1 (discovering the world of work) with a report
- 6 weeks minimum in Bachelor 2 (‘carrying-out’) finishing with a report
- 6 weeks minimum in Bachelor 3 (‘deepening’) finishing with a report and assisting in English, except if the student has chosen another research option for the dissertation
- 8 weeks minimum in Master 1 followed by a dissertation and assistance or research dissertation
- 16 weeks minimum in Master 2 (long term Master internship )with the possibility of enrolling in a professional or research sideline
In Master 2, the students benefit from a personalized framework with a tutor: activities evaluation, writing a dissertation, step by step reports, assisting dissertations in front of a jury; all of this means that the student is ‘coached’.
Each internship includes writing up a report and a dissertation with assisting.
An office of internships is available to help students and advise them on their professional plan.
The internships are essential elements in the training of the student. At the end of the studies at ILERI, the students can show at least 10 months professional experience, which is a considerable asset.

Well-known personalities are invited regularly to give conferences held at ILERI. During these conferences, students are encouraged to participate.

Class attendance is compulsory.
