Yes, after completing your master's in France, you can stay and work there through the Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour (APS), a temporary residence permit for international graduates.

- Duration: Up to 12 months to look for a job or start a business related to your field.
- Eligibility: Master's degree or higher from a recognized French institution.
- Work Rights: Full-time work in jobs related to your studies.
- Next step: If you secure a qualifying job, you can switch to a long-term work permit (Passeport Talent - Salarié Qualifié) for up to four years, renewable.
