What is ‘Work-study’?
Our programmes offered on a work-study track are subject to specific admissions requirements and conditions. To maximise your chances of being accepted on a work-study track, here is some useful information and helpful advice:
- Personal interview: Candidates are strongly advised to submit a CV and a cover letter. How you perform on the day of the interview and the quality of these documents, even if optional, are all part of the assessment.
- Grant holders: as part of its commitment to social inclusion, when it comes to work-study, Excelia gives preferential consideration to applicants with grants.
Drawing on a network of local companies, the Master in Management programme offers a number of specialisations that can be carried out on a work-study track, over either 24 months or 12 months. Although the study format is different, the teaching content is exactly the same as that of the Classic Track.
Choosing work-study is the key to acquiring significant professional experience. It is often a differentiating element on your CV, highlighting your first significant professional experience. During your work-study period, you will benefit from support and guidance from a School tutor along with a manager from the host company who will help you settle in. In addition, the role of this manager is to oversee your work and to ensure that the projects and tasks assigned to you are in line with your capabilities and knowledge.

- Contract type: contrat de professionnalisation (professional training contract) or contrat d’apprentissage (apprenticeship contract) or convention de stage alterné (work-study internship agreement)
- Format: 3 days school-based / 2 days company-based in Year 2
