Apprenticeships and professional training contracts

Apprenticeships in M1 and M2 Health Engineering

The Health Engineering Master 2 can be taken as an apprenticeship for all courses. Students sign an apprenticeship contract with a company at the start of the course. Apprentices have dual status: student and employee. The apprentice alternates between teaching at the faculty and the CFA (apprentice training center), and in-company assignments. A specific timetable (see: SCHEDULE FOR APPRENTICESHIP M2 IS) has been drawn up for the Health Engineering Master's program, to enable apprenticeships at national level.

Apprenticeship is a work-study program that combines the acquisition of know-how and skills on the job with academic and practical training at the university.

Young people aged 16 to 29, with the following exceptions: people recognized as disabled workers, those pursuing a higher level of education through apprenticeship (with an interruption of less than a year), those planning to set up or take over a business, those breaking a previous apprenticeship contract, top-level sportsmen and women.
