UBO Individual Tuition Fee Exemption for Non-EU Students

Université de Bretagne Occidentale, France

Scholarship overview

Under decree no. 2026-385 of 19 May 2026, UBO can no longer apply a blanket partial exemption to all non-EU students. Non-EU students are now liable for differentiated tuition fees at registration, but UBO may grant total or partial exemptions to students who request one, based notably on personal circumstances.

Exemptions granted by the institution are capped by regulation at 30% of the students liable for differentiated fees for 2026/2027. If an exemption is granted after registration, the fees paid are refunded.

Award Information

  • Non-EU student liable for differentiated fees, for example a first-time arrival in 2026/2027 admitted after 21 May 2026, or a student transferring from another French institution.
  • Request made individually, assessed notably on personal situation.
  • Not required to apply if already exempt by law: French government scholarship holders (BGF) and students covered by a reciprocal cooperation agreement between institutions are exempt under national rules.

  • Fees for students not liable: EUR 178 (Bachelor, BUT, professional Bachelor) and EUR 255 (Master).
  • An exemption can be total or partial, up to the 30% quota; fees must be paid at registration and refunded if an exemption is granted later.
