If the latter considers your application valid, he must write a recommendation.

Please contact the person in charge of the master's or doctorate to whom you wish to apply by sending him / her all the requested documents by email. If the teacher responsible for the master's or doctorate decides to pre-admit you to the desired training and to support your application for the EIFFEL scholarship, a selection will be made on the basis of the excellence of the projects, you will then be informed. .e of the follow-up given to your application.
