Eiffel Excellence Scholarship
The University Paris Nanterre participates in the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship programme, a tool developed by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs to enable French higher education establishments to attract the best students and train future international decision-makers in the private and public sectors in priority areas of study.

• The age limit for applying for a master's or engineering degree is 29, and 35 for a doctorate.
   
• The fields of study for the master's and doctoral programmes are: humanities and social sciences - law and political science; economics and management; history, French language and civilisation - and science and technology - biology and health; ecological transition; mathematics and digital technology; engineering sciences.

Applications must be submitted exclusively by the institution supporting the student. You must therefore first be selected by our university. To this end, an internal online application form will shortly be made available on this page.

In the meantime, it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the programme guidelines and regulations, in particular to check your eligibility.

You may also view the documents required by our institution by consulting the submission guide intended for institutions.

All the necessary information is available to you until the application form is published; we will therefore not respond to any enquiries until then.
