Applying to École Nationale des Chartes - Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres): your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into École Nationale des Chartes - Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres)?
We start from your profile: your grades, your degree, your budget and what you want to do after your studies. From that we help you choose the École Nationale des Chartes - Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres) programme where your application is strongest. Then we build the application with you, so that it is as strong as it can be: we work on your CV and statement of purpose, check every document the procedure asks for, and submit the file on time.

École Nationale des Chartes - Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres) makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to École Nationale des Chartes - Université PSL (Paris Sciences & Lettres) need?
Three things carry most of the weight: your academic record, a statement of purpose that explains why this programme fits your studies so far and your plans, and proof of your level in the teaching language. Public universities compare many files for a limited number of places, so a study plan that is clear and consistent matters as much as your marks. We read your file the way an admissions team would, tell you honestly where it is weak, and help you fix what can be fixed before it is sent.
