Working During Studies

For international students studying in France, working part-time is a viable option that comes with numerous benefits. Students are allowed to work up to 964 hours per year, approximately 20 hours per week, which is conducive to balancing study and work commitments.

Notably, the program structure at AIB Management and Business School includes six months of courses followed by six months of paid internships annually, which are exempt from the 964-hour limit. This arrangement is particularly beneficial for those holding a study in France visa, allowing them to gain practical experience without impacting their permitted work hours.

Working part-time while studying in France offers several advantages:

  • Financial support: Supplement your income to cover living expenses, accommodation, and personal needs.
  • Language skills: Enhance your French language proficiency in a professional setting, aiding in better communication and cultural integration.
  • Professional experience: Gain valuable work experience that enhances your resume and bolsters future career prospects.
  • Networking: Build professional networks within France, potentially opening doors for future employment opportunities.
  • Cultural integration: Immerse yourself in the local culture through work, deepening your understanding of the French lifestyle.

It’s important for students to be mindful of legal working hour limitations and balance their work commitments with academic responsibilities to ensure a successful study abroad experience in France.
