What are the post-study work plans and job opportunities abroad, especially in consulting or marketing roles in UK/France for a Master's?
You can pursue consulting or marketing roles in both the UK and France after your Master's, thanks to favorable post-study work options and active job markets.
- UK: The Graduate Route visa lets you stay and work for up to 2 years after your Master's, with no employer sponsorship required. This 2-year period applies to applications made before 1 January 2027; applications submitted on or after that date receive 18 months, while PhD graduates continue to receive 3 years. Consulting firms and top marketing employers actively recruit graduates, with entry-level salaries typically £30,000 - £65,000/year depending on the role.
- France: The APS (Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour) permit allows you to stay up to 4 years post-Master's to find work or start a business. Most consulting and marketing jobs require French language skills. Entry-level salaries are usually €35,000 - €55,000/year.
Language skills are crucial in France, especially for consulting and marketing. Internships and networking during your studies will improve your chances in both countries.
