Work-study format
Students on the programme in Paris can gain industry experience by combining their studies with a work placement as part of an apprenticeship. Doing an apprenticeship can boost your employability and is an excellent way to develop hard and soft skills that are highly valued by employers.
Apprenticeships will also allow you to be entirely waived of your tuition fees. The host company pays you a monthly salary for the duration of the contract according to a scale based on the gross monthly minimum wage.
In Berlin, the work-study rhythm will enable you to work part-time in a student-job for 8 to 20 hours per week. This is a great opportunity to expand your skill set. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you can also use your free time to build your own project!
Finally, at ICN, nearly 150 partner companies are ready to meet you during our career forums, which will open the doors to work-study opportunities with major companies.
The MSc Corporate Finance is highly professional, with courses taught by professionals in corporate finance and law, in line with industry expectations.
