You just have to be organized and proactive.” The value of the training lies in the alliance between teaching researchers and external mentors. The teaching researchers are there to help us analyze the theories that have been established by various sociologists. External mentors, on the other hand, share their professional experience with us. We thus benefit from both approaches. From a professional point of view, this course gave me the opportunity to have two years of experience as an apprentice, my first experience in recruitment and mobility, and additional experience in wage management in two completely different companies. For me personally, this training helped me to develop my analytical skills. “An apprenticeship is a great opportunity” The opportunity to do my two-year Master’s degree in the form of an apprenticeship was a deciding factor in my choice to study at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. The training and teaching I received during these two years on my course enabled me to develop analytical skills that were highly valued by my employers. They now want to offer me a job after I finish my apprenticeship. A course of study gives you the opportunity to benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to the professions of Communications and Human Resources. The alliance of, on the one hand, the teaching staff, i.e. teaching researchers, and, on the other, external tutors who are HR professionals, gives you a good overview of how a company works, including both theoretical concepts and a pragmatic approach and concrete view of the corporate world. In professional terms, this course gives you tools and a background knowledge about facts and the behaviors of individuals in companies, which enables you to come up with ways things could be improved and to make a valuable contribution in the eyes of your superiors. In personal terms, this apprenticeship course pays you a considerable income. It is an opportunity to obtain a first taste of the professional world and to make your first contact with companies. “For those of you who can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel of your studies, who don’t know if you will be able to get a job, the Communications & HR course at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord is just for you!” • Website of the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Professional Education and Social Dialog www.travail-emploi.gouv.frThe steps involved

A more “sociological” corporate approach
After completing my Baccalaureate, I applied to do a DUT GEA (an undergraduate technical degree in business management and administration) with an HR option at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. After completing that, I went to a private school to do a vocational Licence in Human Resources in the form of an apprenticeship with the company Schneider Electric in its division for recruitment and the mobility of engineers and upper management. In my last year, I joined the Faculty of Communication Sciences at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord to do an apprenticeship through a Master’s degree in Communications and Human Resources. When I completed my Licence, I wanted to do a Master’s degree. I applied to do a Master’s at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. I thought the courses were very interesting. They focus more on the psychological aspect of companies.A both theoretical and professional approach
Rapid development of skills

An unusual course for a career in Human Resources
After finishing a baccalaureate in Economic and Social Sciences, I decided to do a Licence in psychology. Through my third-year internship for this degree, I was able to learn more about the professional world of human resources. During this internship, I met the Human Resources Director who guided me in my choice to do a Master’s in Communications and Human Resources at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord.An apprenticeship is a great opportunity
