Application

For all our programs:

• Applications to L3 and M2 programs are made through the eCandidat portal. Applications can only be made by submitting an online application file on this portal. Applications sent by email will not be accepted. Two application periods are planned:
  • for L3:
    • from 10/03/2025 to 30/06/2025 : eCandidat first period
    • and from 18/08/2025 to 03/09/2025 : eCandidat second period
  • for M2 (only for students that are NOT currently in the M1 of the same “parcours”):
    • from 10/03/2025 to 30/06/2025 : eCandidat first period
    • NB: if you are currently in M1, and wish to pursue in M2 of the same “parcours”, you don’t need to make an application to the M2 year via eCandidat.

The (dematerialized) file will include several supporting documents including

• Transcripts of grades obtained in higher education
• A letter of motivation, a CV
• The certificate of completion of the diploma allowing access to the training (e.g.: the license for access to the master, if the diploma is in progress attach a certificate of honor) or complete transcripts of the L3. 
• The other documents will be indicated online at the time of application

Local application to our M1 programs will be done via the mon master portal :

• February 3, 2025: opening of the “mon master” portal, providing information on the available masters
• February 25 to March 24, 2025: application period
• June 2 to June 16, 2025: answers by the Universities for the main admission phase

All the information you need to apply for a Cog-SUP Master’s degree in M1 or M2 is available on the dedicated Master’s website.

Important note: the application procedure does not go through the French  monmaster portal. Please consult the calendar carefully.

MANDATORY for the countries indicated on the website “Etudes en France” and linked to the visa application.

Do not make an e-candidate file (the visa will be refused).

Follow the admission as an independent internation student general procedure for Université Paris Cité.

Enrolment in the third year (L3) of the LTEI (Linguistique théorique, expérimentale et informatique) track is open to a wide range of backgrounds. For example, you may apply after two years of language studies, philosophy, or even literature, provided that you have a strong interest in the formal sciences (mathematics and computer science, the learning of which often requires particularly sustained effort). It is also possible to apply after, for instance, two years of mathematics or computer science, provided that you have an interest in languages and theoretical linguistics. Programmes combining formal sciences and the humanities (such as MIASHS – Mathématiques et informatiques appliquées aux sciences humaines et sociales) are particularly relevant. Students from classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles, particularly the B/L stream (though not exclusively), are also welcome.

Please note that, whatever your background, the admissions panel will consider all your grades since the baccalauréat (or equivalent).

All courses in the bachelor’s degree are taught in French – you must be sufficiently proficient to follow lectures, sit examinations, write laboratory reports and give presentations in French. Proficiency in English is not formally required, but it is nonetheless useful for the bachelor’s degree; it will be necessary in order to continue on to the master’s programmes of the Linguistics department.
