Earning a Degree at AgroParisTech

Students wishing to enroll at AgroParisTech to pursue a degree may apply:

• For our master’s, doctoral, and continuing education programs (including advanced master’s degrees). Each program is thoroughly described in order to help students identify the one(s) that best suit their academic and professional goals. Application procedures are the same for all students regardless of their nationality and are described directly on the webpage of each program. Students must follow theses instructions to apply.
• For the engineering curriculum. Admission to the first year is subject to a competitive entrance exam only open to students who are already enrolled in higher education in France. A specific procedure allows other students to enroll directly in the second year: the concours D.E.

The concours D.E. is open to international students having completed or in the process of validating a science-focused degree at the M1 level (fourth year of higher education) and to international students with French or foreign higher education qualifications or degrees accepted by the jury.

It is exclusively for non-French students and/or students who have studied abroad and have never tried to apply via other procedures.

Only applications demonstrating academic excellence will be examined by the jury.

There are several ways to apply depending on the student’s circumstances:

Candidates must register on our incoming application platform (Edge browser prefered) before filling out the online application form for the engineering curriculum and uploading the required documents by 15 October (session 1) or 01 March (session 2).

Candidates will then be invited to an online oral interview.

• Filled out online application form,
• Photocopy of an ID document,
• Motivation letter,
• Résumé,
• All transcripts since the beginning of higher education, translated into French or English,
• Photocopies of past degrees obtained,
• Proof of language proficiency (French AND English),
  Un niveau B1 minimum (B2 fortement recommandé) est exigé. We accept official certificates and those provided by the students’ home university. Candidates whose mother tongue is French or English are exempt from this requirement. For more information, see the European language self-assessment grid.
• Sworn statement certifying the authenticity of the documents provided.

All mandatory documents must be uploaded to AgroParisTech’s incoming application platform.

AgroParisTech’s admission jury is held twice a year in November (Fall session) and March (Spring session). It is made up of the Deputy General Director, professors, representatives from the Office of Academic Affairs and invited outsiders. Candidates will receive a final answer regarding their admission once this jury has passed.
