    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 full-time study (self-financed) and continuing education (through external financing such as work-study, CPF, etc.) can be found on the presentation sheets for all our courses. Under a work-study programme, the student or “learner” 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 courses available as work-study?

    All our courses can be taken as a work-study apprenticeship or work-study internship. For more detailed information, please consult our specialisations page (information at top right of each page).

    Are all candidates eligible for work-study contracts?

    All Francophone and French national candidates are eligible for work-study courses. But that doesn’t mean that everyone can find a work-study programme. A work-study student is paid every month by the company, which represents a considerable expense for the company, and the company expects 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 programme?

    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 allows you to apply for vacancies, track your applications and take part in coaching workshops. On NEMO, you’ll also find internship, VIE and first job offers.
