The SMARTS-UP programme at Université Paris Cité aims to promote the internationalisation of Master’s programmes. It facilitates the admission of talented international students by building up a pool of excellence for the recruitment of future doctoral students.

Applications 2024-2025
In this context, the programme will finance incoming scholarships €10 000 each for the academic year 2024-2025 to enable Graduate Schools taking part in this project to welcome international students in their Master’s programmes. The scholarships are awarded for one year.

The SMARTS-UP programme is a Masters-level scholarship for international students who have not studied in the French higher education system (N.B. French citizens are not eligible). It cannot be cumulated with another French scholarship.
The scholarship is awarded for one year and cannot be postponed.
