What are the post-study work options in France after finishing an MBA in Luxury Brand Management? Can I work with brands like Chanel or LVMH?
After completing an MBA in Luxury Brand Management in France, you have strong post-study work opportunities, especially given France’s position as a global hub for luxury brands like Chanel, LVMH, Hermès, and Dior.
If you studied at a recognized institution and completed a degree at Master’s level or higher, you are eligible to apply for a Temporary Residence Permit (APS) which allows you to stay in France for up to 12 months (extendable by 12 more) to look for work or start a business.
Once you secure a job that meets the criteria (typically aligned with your field and with a minimum salary threshold), you can transition to a work permit or a Talent Passport visa, which allows longer-term stay and work.
Yes, working with brands like Chanel or LVMH is a possibility — many of them have headquarters in Paris and recruit talent from top French business schools and MBA programs. Networking, internships, strong French language skills (in many roles), and relevant experience in brand management or marketing are key.
If you studied in English, some international roles may still be open to you, but learning French will significantly increase your chances of landing a position in the luxury sector in France.
