Since the start of the 2022-2023 academic year, non-EU students have had to pay differentiated fees (i.e. registration fees different from those applicable to EU nationals), with the exception of certain cases defined in the national exemption framework.
Un automatic partial exemption from differentiated registration fees will therefore be applied to all students subject to differentiated fees enrolled in a national diploma who are nationals of one of the countries listed in color (see right-hand column).
