Stories of Change
By choosing to join our international community in the cultural hub that is Paris, our students choose to embrace change. By seizing opportunities for intellectual exchange with people from different horizons, through class projects, internships and social activities, they develop adaptability and resilience. Our alumni speak of discovering hitherto unconsidered career and life pathways during the formative, life-changing experiences they engaged in while studying at AUP and living in Paris.
When you surround yourself with globality, which you do at AUP, you also get a very healthy dose of perspective because you get a better understanding of how big the world is. That (understanding) gives you perspective which is a very good thing to have when you’re approaching a challenge or an opportunity.

Staying in France
AUP’s MA in Global Communications and MSc in Strategic Brand Management have RNCP certification, which means their graduates are recognized by the French state as qualified communications professionals. Holders of these degrees can apply for an additional year-long temporary residence visa as they look for work following graduation.
Finding French employment and staying in France long-term can be a challenge and often requires a strong commitment to embracing French culture and language and a lot of paperwork, but some graduates do go on to be long-term Parisian residents and even acquire French citizenship. The University does not provide a formal route to French residency.
