Sorbonne Université

Sorbonne University, based in Paris, offers a comprehensive range in humanities and sciences that includes training in education sciences and teaching professions (MEEF). Studying education sciences in Paris provides access to professional pathways (preparation for competitive exams, teacher training) and research master's programs. The university welcomes international students, offers teaching units in French (and some courses in English depending on the program), and works closely with INSPE for initial and continuing teacher training. International students will find at Sorbonne University a recognized research and teaching environment, international services, and tailored programs (bachelor's, master's, doctorates) to study education and prepare for careers in teaching, research, or educational engineering in Paris.

General procedure for an international student: the steps vary according to your nationality and country of residence (Études en France / DAP procedure for preliminary applications); national calendars (Parcoursup for L1, Mon Master for access to M1) apply for most programs. For professional master's/MEEF, access usually requires a bachelor's degree (Bac+3) or equivalent; holders of foreign degrees must have their diploma recognized through the foreign diploma service and attach their transcripts. Language requirements depend on the program: for MEEF master's, Sorbonne generally requires a C1 level of French for holders of foreign diplomas (DELF/DALF, TCF, TEF, or equivalent certificate). The application platform varies by case: Parcoursup (L1), MonMaster (M1), eCandidat/direct application for certain programs, and INSPE for MEEF (VAPP/continuity). Typical application file: certified diplomas and equivalencies, transcripts, CV, cover letter/project, proof of language level, passport copy; some committees may require an interview or additional test. Fees: the amounts of registration fees are published by decree (e.g., 2025-2026: Bachelor's 178€, Master's 254€); Sorbonne has also adopted a waiver policy for the year 2026-2027 (see the dedicated page). Visa/residence permit: detailed information and submission deadlines on the international procedures page (submission deadline for residence permit after arrival, etc.).
