Application Processes

Based on the country of residence, international applicants can apply to the EUP with two specific application processes.

Download Explanations

Admission process is organised at the scale of the Master's Degree in Urban Planning and Development, as a whole. This implies that candidates can submit up to three applications, for three different specialization courses. They will be examined by a jury composed of members of the teaching staff.

Admission is conditional upon the number of places available and on the candidate’s suitability in terms of the program’s objectives and prerequisites. If the disciplinary background is different from urban planning, the candidate will have to demonstrate his interest in urban planning issues.

Only online-applications through eCandidat or through Campus France (Etudes en France) respecting the admission calendar will be taken into consideration. E-mail applications and requests sent outside of the appropriate periods won’t be considered.
