International Executive Master tuition costs
Registration fees are set by the Board of directors of AgroParisTech based on a proposal by the steering committee for the training course.
They currently stand at fifteen thousand euros (15,000 euros) per trainee.
Registration fees must be paid to AgroParisTech by the company or authority sponsoring the trainee, either directly or indirectly through a funding organisation as part of a bilateral or multilateral cooperation scheme.
All the services offered by AgroParisTech ENGREF Centre are included in the registration fees, and in particular enable access to :
- the Intranet of the establishment
- the resources at the Centre and those of its partners in Montpellier (universities, research organisations, etc.)
- Office and IT services : workstations available for use 24/7, printers, scanners, etc.
The International Executive Master steering committee may request that the AgroParisTech Board of Directors grant, in exceptional circumstances, reduced tuition fees if an applicant demonstrates merit and great need, taking into consideration the company or the authority sponsoring the trainee, and the department selected for the personal project.
Living and travel expenses in France
Estimated accommodation and travelling costs in France

- Living allowance for stay in France (9.5 months: September to May and 15 days the following September) : 9.5 x 1,000 : 9,500 euros
- Travel to work placement at the pilot service (mid-March to late April) : 700 euros
- Travel costs between the country of origin and France (3 return trips) : TBD
Partnership with EGIDE to facilitate accommodation and travelling arrangements
These expenses are borne by the employer of the trainee, possibly with financial assistance from a financial backer.
So that trainees and their employers have a single contact for all administrative procedures and logistics arrangements, AgroParisTech has formed a partnership with EGIDE, a French public organisation specialised in welcoming students, researchers and professionals and organising their stays in France, whether they come for a university course, or work placement, scientific meeting, etc.
To organise the arrival of Master trainees, each employer signs an agreement with EGIDE, based on a standard framework agreement negotiated by AgroParisTech, for a whole series of services, some of which are optional (country-Montpellier return trips, housing rental in Montpellier, etc.), while others are obligatory (insurance, social security).
