The term 'work-study' (known as "alternance", in French) refers to two specific types of employment contracts: apprenticeship contracts and professional training contracts.

Dual training programme

At the University of Bordeaux, work-study programmes are possible at every level of study: whether a Technical Diploma, a Master or an Engineering degree. 

It's an opportunity for you to combine theoretical classes with a practical, on-the-job experience in a company: a real springboard to your first job.
