NON-EUROPEAN STUDENTS BUT LIVING IN A EUROPEAN COUNTRY

You must apply directly on our website between February 18th and June 30th.
If your application is accepted, you will receive an authorization of enrollment. From that point on, you will be able to undertake the procedures with the French Consulate in your country of residence to obtain a student visa.
NB. Even if the « Etudes en France » procedure applies in the country of origin, non-European students residing in Europe do not need to either return to their native country nor to follow this procedure.

The Repatriation on Medical Grounds insurance is mandatory for ALL foreign students
The Additional Healthcare cover is highly recommended for ALL foreign students

The tuition fees for European students will be as usual and the exact amount will be announced in July but it is usually around 350€ for the M1 and 550€ for the M2 (including the mandatory Interdisciplinary Seminar).

As far as Non-European students are concerned, we will get some information in July. If we find out before July, it will appear here. There is a high probability that the tuition fees for non-European students will be as Campus France announces below. So bear in mind this possibility.

This is the information which Campus France published about the tuition fees: https://www.campusfrance.org/en/tuition-fees-France

Tuition fees must be paid in person, upon completion of the administrative registration and before the kick-off meeting.

We do not provide housing, therefore you will have to look for an accommodation on your own.

Here are a few tips that could help you out:

We highly recommend that you look for an accommodation before your arrival, as it can be hard to find a good one in Paris. Most students pay between 400 and 600€ per month for accommodation. We would like to warn you that the rents are high so unless you are lucky to get a room at the CIUP residence, you will most likely get a room for a high price.

Prices depend on the area, for example, districts 5, 6, 16 and 8 are the most expensive ones. Yet you can find cheaper rents in districts 18, 19 and 20 or in the suburbs.

Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris: CIUP

Located in the south of Paris, the International University Campus called Cité Internationale Universitaire (CIUP) has a number of different “houses” (Canadian House, Japanese House, German House, American House, etc.) where foreign students can apply to live. You can apply directly on their website.

NB. We recommend that you apply as soon as you receive your authorization of enrollment because their rooms are highly sought after. The cost of a room is usually between € 450 and 600.

Les Estudines

Les Estudines offer entirely furnished and equipped accommodation for students.

In order to Book accommodation there:

– Pick a student residence on their website

– or call the regional (Ile-de-France) booking center: 09 69 39 22 00 (free of charge)

You need to contact the booking center even if the student residences already appear as fully booked, because availabilities can change every day (departures, cancellations…etc.).

Shared housing

In some cases, the best way is to share an apartment where you will have a bigger place at a lower price.

Private owners and real estate agencies

You can find accommodation online on your own.

WARNING:
• Be very careful because unfortunately, even in Paris there are frauds. If you rent an apartment before your arrival, never send money to the owner without an official contract.
• Apartment agencies being quite expensive, we would recommend that you try to find on your own first.
• Some dishonest agencies ask you to pay in exchange for a list of apartments. Never pay for a list, you only pay when you have chosen an apartment!
