Joining the school
Joining the school
Following the publication of exam results, successful candidates can only join the school once all administrative formalities concerning their registration have been completed.
required documents
At the time of registration, candidates must supply a digital copy of each diploma (Baccalaureate or equivalent, art studies etc.), translated and certified as a true copy of the original by a sworn translator. They must also provide a certificate attesting to the level of the foreign diploma, a document which can be obtained from their home institution.
Registration fees
Registration fees are €438 for the 2024–2025 academic year. Students on scholarships are exempt from paying this sum.
School insurance
At the time of registration, students must provide a certificate of school insurance covering all risks. This insurance is compulsory.
Scholarships/university housing
French and international students whose parents have been registered for tax purposes in France for under two years, and who wish to obtain a scholarship or student housing, must apply uniquely via the dossier social étudiant (DSE). The DSE must be filled out on a yearly basis.
Prospective students must make their request between the 15 January and 30 April for entrance the following academic year, even before receiving their exam results.
