    financing

    What kind of financial aid is available?

    INSEEC offers a number of financial aid schemes:

    • Work-study or apprenticeship contracts
    • The right to training via the CPF
    • Banking partnerships

    Prices for initial training (self-financing) and continuing training (external financing such as work-study, CPF, etc.) can be found on the presentation sheets for all our courses.
    Under a work-study program, the “learner” student does not have to pay any tuition fees; it’s the company and the OPCO that cover the costs.

    Professional experience.

    How does work-study at MSc INSEEC work?

    Are the training courses available in work-study?

    All our courses can be taken on a work-study apprenticeship or work-study internship basis. Most of them are available on a work-tudy course basis. For more detailed information, please consult our specializations pages (information at top right of each page).

    Are all profiles eligible for work-study contracts?

    All French and national profiles are eligible for work-study courses. But that doesn’t mean that everyone can find a work-study program… A work-study student is paid every month by the company, which represents a considerable expense for the company, and the company is right to expect a certain level of return. Students who have had some initial professional experience through odd jobs or internships will therefore be more likely to be hired than those who have never worked.

    Can the school help me find a work-study program?

    All MSc courses can be taken on a sandwich or work-study basis.To help you in your job search, the school offers a range of services and coaching tools, including the NEMO platform. It lists all the vacancies offered by INSEEC’s partner companies, and enables you to apply for vacancies, track your applications or take part in coaching workshops.On NEMO, you’ll also find internship, VIE and first job offers.
