Extremely helpful across the two videos! I'm trying to get to FR and the easiest option seems to do a M.A. so thank you! I love that you gave us the resources, so many people don't remember to give links! It's also great to know what I'll be paid, I'm "old" too hahaha
Your videos are a big help because of the details. Thank you
Thank you. Progress! I'm on it!
Amazing information! Clear and straight to the point, thank you for your help, obviously related to the salary might have changed, but I already have researched an uptading. Your videos was helpful, and hopefully in 2025 I’ll be in France ✨
Tiana, thank you so much for these videos. Regarding the alternance, do you know if museums and other government institutions offer an alternance, or does it have to be a private company? I am most interested in art history and historic preservation, and I'm assuming that all museums in France are nationalized, so I wanted to know my options. Please get back to me ASAP. Thank you!
Hi Jennifer!
Yes, there are some in every field! It's not as common for the museums and similar institutions to use interns so it may be harder to find, but it definitely exists.
Here are a few I just found to get you started:

Hope that helps x
@@WhereTianaTravels Thank you so much!! That's definitely really helpful. PS--You said in another video--maybe last year's--that an alternance is only available to people who have ben living in the country for at least a year... First, is that definitely true? Second, is it a hard-and-fast rule that absolutely all companies follow, or is it possible to get around that?
@@jennifergersch9126 No problem!
Yes, you have to be living in France for at least one year before you can do the alternance program. I’m not sure how strict companies are with that, but I do know that there are at least 4-5 other students in my class who were denied the alternance due to not being in France long enough
This was great. One more question, how long before the actual start of your master courses did you sign the “contrat professionnel “? I was told you can legally sign 3 months in advance then a different person told me 2 months in advance.
I’m not completely sure about all the legalities as I did mine kind of last minute, but I signed my contract in mid-August, started working the first week of September, and then started school during the last week of September!
What if you have no higher learning? Is there an option for starting a higher learning path? Thank you for these videos!
Yes, you could do a Bachelor's program instead!
What about going to a french language school or majoring in French from a state university. Would that be free as well?
Hi Tiana! Do you know something about alternance for 30 years old? Contrat de professionalisation? Thank you so much.
Hello, I have the same question. Did you find something about it?
Hi, thanks for your video. Do companies pay for the tuition too (including the international high tuition)?? Thanks 😊
Yes they do!
Hello tiana, your video was very helpful also thank you for the information!! I did my bachelors degree in pairs and now i want to change the field of my masters can i still get alternance??
Yes definitely! My Bachelors subject was completely different than the Masters program I’m doing now
Hi, hope all is well. I'm not certain if I missed it in your video, but what are the steps to apply for free education in France? I'm interested in not pursuing a degree as I have already accomplished many in the states; but I'm interested in studying French in France. Any guidance would be great. Thank you very much.
Hello! Unfortunately most "free" education in France comes from doing a work-study program alongside your degree, usually only offered in fields like business, IT, finance, marketing, etc - so might be difficult to find if you're not looking to go after another degree. There are tons of French programs here but most are paid programs, or you could always apply for a French program at a French public university (they're not 100% free but they are far less expensive than studying in the states would be). You can find the programs here: www.campusfrance.org/en/finding-a-university-programme-France
Do you apply for masters first and then find an alternance? looking into finding an masters program now!
I've been looking for a French tutor online, until I get to France; not a Masters program. Any advise or recommendations; or if you can research couple for me please. Have you heard of "Career in France" not based in France but tutoring and job placements as well. Looking forward to hearing from you tho'. Thanks
For tutors I'd recommend using a site like iTalki or Preply. I haven't heard of the "Career in France" program you mentioned so I can't give any advice about that
Hi Tiana.Im planning to apply for alternance for my masters.Regarding the application,do I need to find the school first or the company?
Hi! I found my school first, but I don't think the order really matters, as long as you have a general idea of what program you'll be doing / what specialty you're studying
Hi Mam..
Lovely evening to you.
I'm just coming across your channel while searching for more information about this program and I'm so glad I did.
Thanks for your explanation as well, it's been really, really helpful.
I'll quickly love to ask a question.
I'll love to apply for L'alternance in culinary art ( as a cusiniere or culinaire, anyone) but I'm finding it difficult finding universities offering this course together with L'alternance BUT on the other hand, I'm seeing a lot of companies offering this role with the word "apprenticeship training" stated. If I apply to these companies, would they be the ones to look for a study institution for me?
Because I was thinking I was supposed to look for the institution and they would provide the employers.
Can you please Clarify me on this.
Thanks 🙏
Wrote you back on IG xx
Hi Tiana, I have graduated in Chemistry from Pakistan but now, I am interested in studying political science/ International Relations. Leaving this comment as in your previous video you have mentioned that, you switched subject for your master program.
Please guide me into this? Can I go for it directly? Will embassy give me study visa even on change of subject or should I apply for master in chemistry and later on, reaching France, should change my subject?
Waiting for response :))
Have a good day
This will be very helpful if she answers because I graduated in chemistry and want to change my interests of study
Hi!! Love your videos! Would you be willing to disclose the name of your school? I am interested in looking at masters programs like this one (marketing communications) thanks!!
It’s ISG Paris 🙂
@@WhereTianaTravels amazing thanks so much 😍
just a quick question for you, but is any program eligible to be an alternance, or just ones that list it? really wanting to do an alternance in france as well, but just very confused on which programs allow it
There's a few different types of programs that offer alternance but I've found that it's mainly business (Finance, HR, Business admin, etc) and marketing programs
@@WhereTianaTravels thank you so much!
Did I understand it right, before foreigners in France could only do alternance if they spent at least 12 months in France? But now you can start right away without having those 12 months?
I'd never heard of that rule before but you're right :/ You do still have to be in France for 12 months before applying to the alternance program
So how can foreigners apply for alternance without living in France for 12 month's...?
@@WhereTianaTravels hello Tiana! Do you know where i can find information on the 12 month rule and if companies and universities are well aware of it? And is there an age limit for doing alternance?
Thank you for this video! I'm applying ASAP! Did you translate your transcript or did they require a French company? I have my official transcript, but it's in English.
I didn’t translate them! I just sent the original copies in English 😊
@@WhereTianaTravels Thank you!!
May I confirm if u have applied am intrested
hello hope you're doing good , i have a bachelor's degree in English studies but i want to study Master in hotel management i just want to know do i need TCF because i am Moroccan anyone can help please
I don't get it. Do I have to enroll on the Masters first and only then start applying for jobs? Or are the two linked?
Yes you'll need to enroll in the Masters first. Each school has a different alternance "rhythm" (some are 1 week at work, 3 weeks at school; some are 3 days at work, 2 days at school, etc) and your job will ask what your rhythm is when you apply
@@WhereTianaTravels ok so its not a fact that I will get a job right? its a matter of luck
@@adryellerios1 correct, it’s not guaranteed
Pls how do i find free school for masters, interested in fashion, luxury management or an MBA
