In France this is called “alternance”. I don’t know about OP but you can have a “Licence professionnelle” with or without “alternance”; it depends on your school/university.
- Jugurtha 10y agoWithout "alternance" as in full time in school or full time in company? I'd guess the latter since the name is "Licence professionnelle" and not spending time in a company would defeat the purpose.
- di4na 10y agoFull time university. Full time in company getting you degrees is... quite hard in France The "Professionelle" part is more about the fact that after it you should not continue studying but go for a career.
- Jugurtha 10y agoOh, okay.. I see now. This category has its own ministry here, neither with "Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique", nor with "Ministère de l'Éducation". They have a "Ministère de la Formation et de l'Enseignement Professionnels". They get in with a different baccalauréat UFC (Université de la Formation Continue) which anyone can take even without necessarily being enrolled in high-school. Some of those who are enrolled in high-school hedge their bet and go for regular BAC and UFC BAC. They often fail the regular BAC but succeed at the other and enter UFC which has classes inside "real" universities after hours. Not dedicated classrooms, though. They came out of class one day and I said I've never seen them around (they didn't look the part) and they informed me who they were and talked about what they were learning, etc.
