Level and admission procedures

The required level of admission is a minimum of 4 years of studies after the Baccalaureate (equivalent to 240 ECTS) in the fields of economics, human sciences or agronomy.
Professional experience is taken into account.

A selection committee, composed of the CIHEAM Montpellier teacher-researchers, examines the applications and ranks them according to the quality of the applications (grades obtained, academic achievements, skills acquired, etc.).

Applicants meeting the required academic criteria are invited to selection interviews (face-to-face or remote), after having sat a remote language test (French or English depending on the tuition language of the Master’s) at the French Language Center of the CIHEAM Montpellier.

Following the interviews, some candidates from the waiting list may be invited to attend according to the number of places available. Invitation letters are sent out in June.

In case of withdrawal, new candidates from the waiting list are offered a place.

Prerequisites

Depending on your level in the two fields indicated below, you may have to follow prerequisite courses before the beginning of the academic year:

French / English language >>

French for CGAT, CDVALES and ECODEVA Masters, knowledge of the French language is required since all courses are taught in French. No student who is completely new to the French language will be accepted for one of these Masters.

  • For non-French speaking students, the minimum level required is B1.2 (having taken at least 400 hours of French lessons), according to the criteria of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages. Those with a level below B1.2 must take intensive French language refresher courses on site or online during the summer preceding their training. These courses are given by the French Foreign Language Center (CFLE) of the institute (certified ISO 9001 and labeled Qualité FLE).
  • French-speaking students (outside of France) must follow the distance training offered in French as a Foreign Language from July. This training will be tested in September.

English for the MIDAS Master: knowledge of the English language is required since all courses are taught in English. No student who is completely new to the English language will be accepted for this Master.

The minimum level required is B1.2 (having taken at least 400 hours of English lessons), according to the criteria of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages. Those with a level below B1.2 must take intensive English language refresher courses on site or online during the summer preceding their training. These courses are given by the French Foreign Language Center (CFLE) of the institute (certified ISO 9001 and labeled Qualité FLE).

*To facilitate their stay in France, students admitted to the MIDAS Master’s programme will be required to attend online French courses during the summer.

Economics >>

Advanced knowledge in economics is essential because economics is a central component of the CIHEAM Montpellier Masters.

The prerequisite courses in economics, required for all students who have taken no or very little courses in economics during their initial training, are organized remotely from July, then in class in September.

To do this, you should contact the cultural advisor of the French Embassy in your country (Scientific and Technical Cooperation Mission) and the offices of other national and international organizations such as the examples below:

www.afd.fr/en

www.sfere.fr/en/

www.campusfrance.org/en/bursaries-foreign-students

www.auf.org/

https://www.francophonie.org/ 

www.banquemondiale.org/

If your file is deemed admissible by the selection committee, we will send you a provisional admission which will be requested by the funding organizations. Final admission will be issued to you in June, on condition that your application is definitively validated by the final selection committee.
