Master's degrees issued by the Network "n+i" schools give French and foreign engineers equal career opportunites in France and abroad.
These qualifications give graduates the right to obtain either a temporary residence permit allowing them to stay in France for a period of 12 months to look for a job or a visa allowing them to work in a company with which they must sign an employment contract.
In 2013, over 90% of engineering students had received job offers before they graduated! The average gross salary for a first job in France for a young engineer is €36,000 per annum.
Masters (or Doctorate) graduates may, if they wish to work in France once they have completed their studies, request amendment to their student visa for a Temporary resident permit of 12 months (non-renewable) authorising paid employment for first activity.
