France Excellence Eiffel Scholarship via Université d'Angers (Master, Engineering Degree and Doctorate, 2027 session)

Université d'Angers, France

Scholarship overview

The Eiffel programme is run by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs through Campus France. It aims to attract top foreign students to French master's and doctoral programmes in priority fields. Applications are submitted by the host institution, here the Université d'Angers, not by the candidate alone.

Two fields are covered: sciences and technology (biology and health, ecological transition, mathematics and digital, engineering sciences) and humanities and social sciences (French history, language and civilisation, law and political science, economics and management).

Angers accepts Eiffel applications at Master level, for an engineering degree and at Doctorate level for the 2027 session.
