Admission to M2 programmes
CIHEAM > Master programmes > Admission to M2 programmes

Prerequisites

The required level to apply for an M2 course is 4 years of higher education (equivalent to 240 ECTS) at a university or engineering school in the fields of agronomy, economics, geography or sociology.

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 language >>

For the 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 a Master (M2).

  • 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 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.
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.


CIHEAM grants

Access to grants depends on whether you are a citizen of a CIHEAM member state: Albania, Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia or Turkey.

You are a citizen of a CIHEAM member state? >>

You can benefit from a full or partial scholarship.

The full scholarship

It does not apply to French students who automatically benefit from a partial grant. For other CIHEAM countries, depending on the number of scholarships available, you may benefit from a full scholarship awarded by the selection committee, according to the ranking of your file.

CIHEAM Montpellier will take care of:

  • Training costs
  • Reimbursement of the Student and Campus Life Contribution (CVEC): https://cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr/
  • Health and hospital insurance
  • Accommodation at the CIHEAM Montpellier residence (single room in a double studio – possibility of accommodation in a single studio with the student paying the additional cost)
  • dditional allowance for subsistence costs.

You will take charge of:

  • Registration fees: 243 euros
  • The round trip
  • Meals.

The partial scholarship

Nationals of a CIHEAM member country who are admitted without a full scholarship automatically benefit from a partial scholarship which covers training costs.

You will take charge of:

  • Registration fees: 243 euros
  • Student and Campus Life Contribution (CVEC): https://cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr/
  • Health and hospital insurance (allow around 150 euros for insurance in France)
  • The round trip
  • Subsistence costs: accommodation, meals and other miscellaneous costs.
You are not a citizen of a CIHEAM member state? >>

You cannot benefit from a CIHEAM Montpellier scholarship. We strongly advise you to find a scholarship from the French cooperation or from an international organization that covers the cost of your training. 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.giz.de/en/

www.sfere.fr/en/

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

www.auf.org/

www.francophonie.org/

www.banquemondiale.org/

Please note, scholarship applications very often have to be submitted several months in advance. We advise you to send us an application as soon as possible.

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.
