Deadline for application: first semester (Fall term): 15th May / second semester (Spring term): 30th October

• Students coming from City College New York must complete the Application for incoming students / International universities / Studies. In the “Educational Background and Requested Stay” tab, for “Framework”, they must choose “Bilatéral Etudes”
• Students from the other consortium universities must complete the Application for incoming students / Erasmus+ / Studies. In the “Educational Background and Requested Stay” tab, for “Framework”, they must choose Cursus intégré.

As part of the MoveOn application, incoming students can apply for university housing, but note that Université Paris Cité only has very few rooms. For more accomodation options, see the Accomodation webpage.

Your MoveOn application file will have to include a learning agreement, i.e. the list of classes you will wish to attend at Université Paris Cité. You can find information about modules in Anglophone Studies on this page. For modules in other disciplines, please consult the websites listed in the section below. Before you upload your learning agreement on MoveOn, you need to have it signed by the academic coordinator for incoming students, Dr. Clémence Follea (clemence.follea@u-paris.fr). Please note that this initial version of your learning agreement might have to be revised later on, when you build your weekly schedule of classes for academic registration (see the section below).

Once your application is processed, you will be sent your offical letter of acceptance. Once you are offically enrolled at Université Paris Cité, you will receive your student number and will be able to activate your student account (see below).

Contact

Your primary contact for all administrative questions on the MoveOn application, housing and enrollment is the International Relations Office of the Faculté Sociétés et Humanités: Ms. Emmanuelle Jego, emmanuelle.jego@u-paris.fr or mobility.sh@u-paris.fr

Once the semester’s timetables are published (a few weeks before the beginning of term), it will be time to make your choice of classes a little more concrete: based on the semester’s timetables you will be required to build your own weekly schedule and define the definitive list of courses you wish to be registered for.

This is different from your learning agreement: you can use your LA as a basis but you will now have to consult the semester’s timetables to make sure your classes do not clash and to build yourself a workable weekly schedule. Timetables are usually published a few weeks before the beginning of term.

If you need help for choosing your classes, please contact the JDEAS supervisor in Paris, Prof. François Vergniolle de Chantal, or the academic coordinator for incoming students, Dr. Clémence Follea.

As JDEAS students, you are supposed to take 30 European credits (ECTS). You will mostly attend courses from the UFR Etudes Anglophones (English Department) but you may also take some other courses as free electives.

Regular MA courses

You will have access to the regular MA classes in English and American studies. ECTS content varies with each class and is indicated in the course catalogue below, along with the course description.
