French job market 26 / 30
Learn French while in France
## French is a global business language with growing international reach.
A language of opportunity
### French is not only the language of France.
France Diplomatie, based on the 2026 OIF report, presents French as one of the world's most widely spoken languages, with 396 million speakers across five continents and 170 million learners of and in French.
For internationally mobile graduates, French adds access to professional networks in Europe, international organisations, public institutions, culture, luxury, engineering, energy, mobility and services.
English + French
A strong professional combination for students who want European mobility, international credibility and better integration into the French job market.
Broader global reach than German German is very valuable in parts of Europe. French offers wider global distribution and a rising speaker base, which makes it especially relevant for international careers.
Useful from day one in France Students can study in English while progressively building practical French for daily life, internships, networking and employment.
Integrated in the Bachelor DSTI's Bachelor programme includes French classes, helping students make practical progress while studying technical subjects in English.
Source note: France Diplomatie summarises the OIF 2026 report with 396 million French speakers worldwide and 170 million learners of and in French.
Learning French 27 / 30
Post-study pathway
## Study in France, then move into the job market with a clear legal route.
1
After graduation
### 12-month job-seeking permit
Graduates can normally apply for a post-study residence permit to look for work or launch a professional project in France.
2
French advantage
### Studies + internship exposure
Graduation usually comes after a substantial internship period, so students have already been exposed to the job market.
3
Then what?
### Employment-based residency
Staying in France is based on securing a suitable job and meeting legal conditions, not arbitrary quotas.
4
### France can be a place to launch a career.
The pathway is credible because it combines degree studies, paid internship, employability support and legal post-study options for graduates who secure employment.
The objective is not only to study abroad, but to make the transition from study to professional life understandable and credible.
