The doctoral programme lasts in average 3 years during which students write their thesis within one of PSE laboratories.

paris school of economics tuition fees
The university fees are annual and set by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research in France.
Since the 2019 entrance the French government has announced an increase in the registration fees up to € 3,770 for the Master’s degree for foreign students coming outside the European Union who are entering a new cycle of studies. The law has been voted. However, our partner institutions have been able to exempt international students from paying the full fees this academic year. They were able to give a waiver and allow all the students to pay the same amount of 250 euros per year, plus 90 euros contribution to the student and campus life (CVEC), that students need to pay to the CROUS. We can now confirm you that our partner institutions will be able to propose again waivers to the international students in 2020-2021 so they can pay the same enrollment fees as the French students.
Are there grants available?
Depending on your nationality, financial aid may be available from different institutions (central banks, embassies, foundations, etc.). We invite you to explore the different possibilities available on the websites of EHESS (only in French) and Campus France.

Each year we offer between 60 and 70 places in the first year of the APE master’s programme and between between 15 and 30 seats for candidates applying for a direct admission into the second year. For September 2019, we received 450 applications at M1 level, and 75 admitted students registered; at M2 level, we received 120 external applications and 28 students registered. Among all the applications we receive each year, on the average, one quarter of the M1 applicants are successful, while 20% of the “external” M2 applicants get admitted (most of the slots are dedicated to M1 students). In the end, 30-40% of the students come from a foreign institution.
All admissions are conditional on the applicant gaining the degree necessary for access to the desired masters level (degree or equivalent for entry to M1; M1 or equivalent for entry to M2). The certificate of achievement will be demanded, in September, during the enrolment process.
