Will universities pay for work done during internships or placements in France for a Master's?
24 Aug 2026 · Answered by Saru Sharma · 1 min read
No, universities in France typically do not pay students for work done during internships or placements.
However, most internships that are part of master's programs are paid by the host company or organization - not the university. By French law, internships longer than 2 months (over 309 hours) require the host to provide a minimum monthly stipend.
Universities may help you find internships and sometimes offer scholarships or grants for extra support, but direct payment for internship work comes from the host organization.
