France After Graduation: The 12-Month Post-Study Work Route Explained

One of France’s biggest draws is what happens after graduation: Master’s graduates can obtain up to 12 months of post-study work authorization (APS) to find employment related to their field.

Combine that with affordable tuition, 80+ recognized universities and Grandes Écoles, and strong internship culture, and France becomes a career launchpad — not just a degree.

Preparation starts early: internships during your studies, French language skills (even basic French multiplies your options), and a CV formatted for the French market.

We build your France plan with the post-study outcome in mind from the first consultation — program choice, city, and internship strategy included.
