    ✅ Who can apply on MonMaster?

    • A candidate with European nationality (including Andorra, Switzerland, and Monaco);

    • A candidate of another nationality who resides in France;

    • A candidate of another nationality who resides in an European Economic Area (EEA) country (including Andorra, Switzerland, and Monaco);

    • A candidate of another nationality who resides in a country not covered by the “Études en France” system.

    The last two types of candidates must regularize their situation with the French consulate in their country of residence.

    For example, a non-European national residing in Germany can apply on the platform (if their degree qualifies), but must check that their situation allows them to study in France with the French consulate in Germany and, if necessary, apply for a student visa.

    ❌ Who does not apply through MonMaster?
    Candidates of foreign nationality (excluding citizens of the European Economic Area, Andorra, Switzerland, or Monaco) whose country of residence is covered by the “Études en France” system. Depending on the program, they must apply via the “Études en France” platform or directly with the institution.

    • All IAE programs are open to Continuing Education candidates who have a project to resume their studies, whether you are an employee, freelancer, entrepreneur, job seeker, etc.
      IAE Montpellier also offers programs specifically dedicated to professionals, such as the Executive Master (MAE) in Business Management, the Master in Management of Universities and Information Technologies, and the e-learning Bachelor’s in Management of Technologies and Sciences.
