The international reputation of French master’s programmes in semiconductors
Hello everyone,
I am about to start a Master’s degree at Paris-Saclay University in the field of semiconductors. It’s a rather unique programme as it’s an apprenticeship. Even my Bachelor’s degree in physics was completed as an apprenticeship in a front-end fab specialising in thin-film metrology. And I intend to stay in this department for my Master’s apprenticeship.
Given the current state of the semiconductor industry in France, I’m starting to think about potentially moving abroad after I graduate, and I wanted to know whether French qualifications, particularly with five years’ apprenticeship experience, are well regarded overseas. Will I find it difficult to get a job in Europe or elsewhere?
