- Better integration and advancement within the company, thanks to better recognition and ability to communicate with the technical sphere (knowledge and recognition by counterparts with a "scientific" profile who evolve within "production", "R&D", "sourcing" functions, etc.). sourcing" functions, etc.)

Expected results

The Mon Master platform displays two "salaried employment rates in France" for each course at 6 and 18 months. These two rates, known as "INSERSUP" rates, exclude graduates working as self-employed professionals, company directors, craftsmen or working abroad. These rates therefore do not reflect the reality of professional integration. In addition, some Mon Master programs do not show INSERSUP rates, as the rate of salaried employment in France excludes many graduates who are already working, and the statistical reliability threshold is no longer guaranteed.            

For perfectly reliable information including all graduates who have entered the job market directly without continuing their studies, we advise you to consult the University of Montpellier website(https://osipe.edu.umontpellier.fr). These insertion rates are calculated at 30 months (number of graduates in employment / number of graduates in employment and looking for work). These data are collected by OSIPE (Observatoire du Suivi et de l'Insertion Professionnelle des Étudiants).
