The advantages of work-linked study
Easier integration into the world of work
Thanks to your in-company experience and theoretical training, you'll be up and running quickly and attractive to employers.
Remuneration during your studies
As a work-study student, you will receive a salary based on your age and level of study. This pay enables you to finance your studies and gain financial independence.
Creating a professional network
Work-linked training enables you to develop a network of professional contacts, a major asset for your future job search or career development. You will be in direct contact with players in your sector of activity.
Recognised professional experience
As part of a work-linked training scheme, you can apply your knowledge directly in the workplace. You'll gain significant experience that will set you apart in the eyes of recruiters.
Free registration fees
On work-linked courses, the tuition fees are often paid by the company, which considerably reduces the cost of your studies.
How do work-linked studies work?
At the University of Guyana, work-linked studies follow a clearly defined rhythm that varies according to the course. Generally, you alternate between periods at university and periods in a company. For example, you can spend one week in the company and then one week in the classroom, or three days in the company and two days at university each week. This model allows you to :
Apply theoretical knowledge immediately
Each work placement is an opportunity to put into practice what you have learned in the classroom.
Follow a tailored programme
Our courses are designed to meet the needs of local businesses and the realities of the job market.
Benefit from personalised support
At the Université de Guyane, we'll be with you every step of the way. Our teaching teams and careers advisors are there to help you make a success of your project.
