Aix-Marseille University has made international mobility and the reception of international students a pillar of its attractiveness policy. It has thus set up a unique scholarship system to finance profiles of excellence.

The TIGER Master's Excellence Grants

Within the framework of the TIGER project (Transforming and Innovating in Graduate Education via Research) financed by the French government's Plan d'Investissement d'Avenir, Aix-Marseille University has put in place a series of measures to further increase its internationalization. Aix-Marseille University has chosen its institutes, the true embodiment of the university's interdisciplinary dimension, to anchor these new measures, as well as its site partners.

The TIGER Master's Excellence Scholarship enables the university to finance international students with excellent backgrounds to join the ranks of these entities combining teaching, innovation and high-level research.
