 What is an alternance contract  ? 

It's an opportunity that exists in France and allows students to continue higher education (with a fully-funded Master's degree) whilst working for a French company. Considered as a training-based program, it provides a real gateway into the professional world and allows graduates to learn and earn at the same time.

​

How does it work?

​

You can choose any of the Master's programmes offered by iPag Business School or Studi.com

You'll spend four days working at MES and one day studying towards your Master's degree.

You'll receive a monthly salary and the company will pay for your Master's tuition fees.

In order to complete a Master's degree (BAC+5) in 12 months in France you must have already completed a 4 year Bachelor's degree (3 years + year abroad).
