Master's level exchanges

Discover our master's programs for internationally mobile students at Sciences Po Grenoble, offering specialized courses with teaching options in French or English and a selective application system for an enriching academic experience.

International mobility students at master's level

If you are an international Master's student and need to study at Master's level, please read the following carefully.

 

We offer a number of master's programs called "courses". Most of these take place during the autumn semester only (most students do an internship in the spring). The ECTS of each course is indicated in the "program" tab of each pathway.

Depending on your level of French

  • If you have a very good level of French (B2+), to avoid scheduling problems, opt for ONLY ONE year (A4 or A5) of ONE Master's program(choose here). You'll get 30 ECTS if you take the whole semester. You can add a sport option (ungraded FP model), if compatible with your timetable.
  • If you don't have a very good level of French, we offer ONE Master's program taught in English: MA in European studies "parcours GE" . To enter this program, you must have a good knowledge of European law, economics and politics, as well as an excellent level of English (if not, opt for the international undergraduate courses). You can add a sports option (ungraded FP model), if this is compatible with your timetable.

NB: to avoid scheduling problems, you must not mix 2 different master's programs or undergraduate and graduate courses.

 

The only programs available in the spring semester

Our Master's courses offer a limited number of places. If you are interested in studying for a master's degree, you (or your supervisor) should contact incomingmobility@sciencespo-grenoble.fr to make your application (for the highly selective PPOI and TE courses, please enclose your transcript of marks - TOR - and a CV). Otherwise, places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, as some master's programs (GE...) fill up quickly.

Tuition fees for master's students

To promote equality of opportunity and make excellent academic training accessible to all, Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA has introduced flexible tuition fees.

While international double degree students from Sciences Po Grenoble's partner universities will continue to pay the flat fee, from 2022-2023, tuition fees for Sciences Po Grenoble degrees will now follow the following principles:

Students whose parent(s) declare(s) their income within the European Economic Area will pay fees according to a model already adopted by 8 Sciences Pos in France, which applies from the first to the fifth year, for face-to-face teaching.

Students whose parent(s) declare(s) their income in one of the countries of the European Economic Area will be subject to tuition fees modulated according to household income and the number of dependent children.

Fees range from €0 to €6,300.

The reference tax income taken into account is that of year N-2. Example: for the 2023-2024 academic year, the 2022 tax notice based on 2021 income.

Students whose parent(s) declare(s) their income outside the European Economic Area will have to pay a lump sum of €6,300.
