Due to a reform in French higher education system, implemented in 2019, international students who are not citizen of a country inside European economic area or Switzerland who register for the first time in a French higher education course will have to pay specific fees (equivalent to one third of the real cost of the formation). These amount equals 3 770€ for a Master or PhD.

Once the application file is considered as “complete”, several criteria will be taken into account for the selection :
- the quality of your academic file (grades)
- the coherence of your professional project
- a strong interest for the sector adds value to your file. This interest can be shown by an experience in this field (internship, project, and experiences) and/or explained in the cover letter. This will be even more important if you are planning to take your studies back or change your field of study.
We have about 16 places available each year. To stack all the odds in your favour, we advise you to apply quickly once the application process has opened. We receive a lot of candidates and we fill the classes gradually, which means that we sometimes have reached our maximum number of students before the application deadline.
The list is not definitive yet, but you can prepare to gather some documents from now on :
