What are the post-study work permit (PSW) options and job opportunities after completing masters in France?
Yes, you can stay and work in France after completing your master's.
- APS (Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour): After your master's, you can apply for the APS, a temporary residence permit allowing you to stay in France for up to 12 months to look for a job or start a business related to your field. You can work full-time during this period. Apply before your student visa expires.
- Passeport Talent: If you secure a qualified job offer related to your studies during your APS, you can switch to the Passeport Talent permit, which allows you to stay and work in France long-term. The job must match your qualifications and meet salary requirements.
Job opportunities in France are strong in technology, business, finance, and research. Knowing French helps, but some roles in multinational companies accept English. Internships and part-time roles during your studies can boost your employability.
