IDEX Scholarships for International MSc Programs
Each year Université Côte d'Azur awards 10 Idex scholarships to the best MSc candidates. The recipients of these grants of excellence will be exempt from tuition fees and will receive a stipend of €5,000.
This scholarship is awarded for one year only.
France Excellence Europa Scholarship Program
Developed by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the "France Excellence Europa" scholarship program allows students from 26 European Union countries to obtain scholarships to study at the Master's level in a French institution of higher education.
EIFFEL Scholarship
The Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Program was established by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to enable French higher education institutions to attract top foreign students to enroll in their master's.
It gives opportunity to the future foreign decision-makers of the private and public sectors, in priority areas of study, and encourages applicants up to 25 years old from developing countries at the master’s level.
At the end of the MSc DSAI students can work in companies as experts or engineers, in development, research and development, consulting services related to artificial intelligence and machine learning, and data processing. They can also continue their training with a doctoral thesis which can be carried out either in an academic research laboratory or in a company, for example with a CIFRE contract.
