WHAT IS THE ALTERNANCE SYSTEM?
Alternance is a French type of dual education: a qualified student combines lectures at a French business school with part-time work at a company in the same field of study. Not only does the student earn a wage, he/she also gets to choose the company him/herself. The student gets to choose the field of study, he/she can even choose between a bachelor’s or a master’s degree which complements the part-time job within the company. He/she doesn’t even have to pay a registration fee to go to university.
In short, alternance is the perfect solution for young Flemish/Dutch/German graduates or French bachelor and master students who don’t want to work full-time yet or don’t want to study full-time anymore.
