New Process for Applying to a First-Year Master’s Program!
March 10 2023The French Ministry for Higher Education has launched a digital nation-wide recruitment and application process for first-year master’s courses via
the Mon Master (My Master’s) platform.
Prior to March 22
This platform provides information and allows you to select your course from all those on offer.
As of March 22
The platform will be open until April 18 for the submission of your application.
This so-called ‘application phase’ precedes the ‘application review’ phase. During this second phase, which takes place between April 24 and June 16, the jury commissions will study your applications and rank them. This is then followed by the ‘admission phase’, which will begin on June 23.
