The application fee, and the work it buys

Paid once when you submit your file, the application fee opens the full review: reading of the file, remote interview, written reasoned decision. Here is everything it covers, and the calendar it sets in motion.

One payment, one full review

The application fee is paid once, when you submit, and covers the whole admission process. That work is real: a person reads your file, a thirty-minute interview is held remotely at a slot you choose, and a written decision reaches you within ten working days with its reasoning. It is that reasoning which gives the arrangement its value — it serves you whatever the answer, since it names the programme your profile best fits.

Everything the application fee covers

  • A full reading of your file by a person, document by document
  • The thirty-minute interview, remote, at a slot you choose
  • The written, reasoned decision, sent within ten working days
  • Guidance towards the catalogue programme closest to your project
  • A personal costing of your route, amount and payment schedule included
  • Retention of your file, reusable for a later application

Questions about the file

Does the application fee count towards tuition?

It pays for the admission work, which happens before enrolment and exists in its own right. Tuition is then settled at the amount published for your programme, with no surcharge of any kind.

Can I apply for two programmes?

A single file can carry two choices, examined in the same interview. The interview exists precisely to settle between them in the light of your project and your weekly availability.

Is my file still valid if I postpone?

It is kept and remains reusable for a later application: you resume where you left off, updating only the documents that have changed.
