Applying to Université Jean Monnet: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into Université Jean Monnet?
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 Université Jean Monnet 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. Applications to Université Jean Monnet from outside the EU go through Campus France’s Études en France procedure, where each answer about your study plan is read closely, so we work on those answers with you. Université Jean Monnet makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to Université Jean Monnet 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.
What English level do I need for Université Jean Monnet?
For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, Université Jean Monnet asks for IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 90 to 92 or TOEIC 650 (level B2), depending on the programme. Some schools waive the test if your previous degree was taught in English. We check the exact score for the programme you choose before you book a test.
When should I apply to Université Jean Monnet?
For a September start at Université Jean Monnet, the application period runs from October to December of the year before. There is one main round a year, so a late file usually means waiting a full year. Start preparing your documents well before October.
Which programmes at Université Jean Monnet are taught in English?
10 of the programmes listed on this page are taught fully in English, including Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Digital Creativity Art & Science, Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's degree (M2) in Imaging and Light in Extended Reality, Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's degree in Intelligent Photonics for Security Reliability Sustainability and Safety and Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's degree in Radiation and its Effects on MicroElectronics and Photonics Technologies. Tell us your background and we will tell you which of them you are eligible for.
What does it cost to apply to Université Jean Monnet with Dimensions France?
