Access based on validation of professional experience
> It is possible, under certain conditions, to use one's personal and professional experience to enter a university course without having the required qualifications. However, validation of prior experience does not automatically apply to all courses. Find out more about Validation of priori experience.
Entry to all Masters (with the exception of Advanced Masters) can be gained through the special procedure for accrediting prior learning and experience known as VAE (validation des acquis de l'expérience).
Access based on application
Access based on application : access may be granted either directly or on the condition of completing additional courses of a maximum of 60 ECTS credits, or refused.
Foreign students who have completed a university education (minimum 3 years) with strong quantitative connotation and who have obtained at least 70% (or 14/20) of average for all successful university years in their home university, without the slightest failure in mathematics courses, calculation of probabilities and statistics, have the possibility to apply for admission to the program of the Master in Actuarial Science (120 ECTS).
Moreover students who wish to be admitted on the basis of a dossier are invited to consult the criteria for the evaluation of application.
