Aix-Marseille Université has made international mobility and the hosting of international students a pillar of its internationalisation policy. It has thus set up a unique scholarship programme to finance profiles of excellence.
How to apply?
Step 1: I choose my master's programme from among the eligible courses.
Step 2: I submit my application for the programme of my choice (via the appropriate platform according to my personal situation).
Step 3: The masters' directors study the applications and select those who will be awarded the scholarship.
Step 4 : I receive my letter of admission to the master.
Step 5: Shortly afterwards, I will be informed if I have been granted the TIGER Master Excellence Scholarship.
There is no need for students to take any additional steps: only the application file requested by each master must be submitted via the appropriate application platform.
Many students apply each year for these programmes and only a small number of them are selected on the basis of the quality of their application and are awarded the TIGER Master Excellence Scholarship.If you do not receive a notification of award, you can consider that your application has not been selected.
Please note that even if you have been awarded a scholarship, non-European international students who are subject to differentiated fees will still have to pay these fees in order to enrol in the master of their choice.
For more information, please visit our page about differentiated fees.
