France-Master/PhD Eiffel Excellence Scholarship
‘Eiffel Excellence programme‘ SCHOLARSHIPS offered by the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. Eiffel excellence scholarships are awarded to high-achieving overseas students to whom French higher education institutions would like to offer a place on a Master’s or PhD course.
Objectives of Eiffel programme
- to offer French higher-education opportunities for future public- and private-sector decision-makers in three priority areas: science; economics & management; law & political science.
- to reach students from emerging countries (with priority on Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and new members of the European Union), while PhD scholarships also address students from industrialized countries.
Areas of study covered by the Eiffel programme
Eiffel grants cover the following subject areas:
* Engineering sciences for the Master’s course, and sciences in a broader sense for the PhD course (engineering sciences, exact sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry) life sciences, nano- and bio-technologies, environment sciences, and information & communication sciences).
* Economics and management.
* Law and political science.
A perfect command of the French language is not a selection criteria as non French-speaking Eiffel Scholars can attend French language courses before the start of their studies and during their stay, in liaison with the host institution.
