In accordance with the decree of April 19, 2019, setting the tuition fees applicable to non-EU international students enrolled in a public higher education institution, differentiated fees were approved by the University Clermont Auvergne’s Board of Directors during its session on September 27, 2019. Due to the health context, UCA has decided to postpone the implementation of differentiated fees for non-EU students. Their application is expected to take effect starting from the 2025/2026 academic year.
 

Important Information:

The UCA Board of Directors, in its meeting on December 13, 2023, decided to postpone the partial exemption for the 2024/2025 academic year.
As a result, non-EU students will pay the same tuition fees as national and European students for the 2024/2025 academic year.

Who is affected by differentiated tuition fees?

Non-EU students enrolling for the first time in a bachelor's, master's, or engineering program.

Who is not affected by differentiated tuition fees?
  • Recipients of French government scholarships
  • Non-EU students enrolled at UCA before the 2019 academic year, until the end of their uninterrupted studies
  • Students enrolled in CPGE (preparatory classes for grandes écoles) who are also registered for a Bachelor's degree at the university
  • Students enrolling in a PhD program, an HDR (Habilitation to Supervise Research), a long-cycle health program (DES), or a university diploma
  • Students who have refugee status, subsidiary protection, or are children of individuals holding such status
  • Non-EU students who have been legal residents in France for at least two years, or who have been attached to a French tax household for more than two years

  • Students coming to France under a partnership or university exchange program that provides for tuition fee waivers

These students will pay the same tuition fees as French students for the entire duration of their studies at a public higher education institution under the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation.
