Holders of a non-University 2nd cycle degree

The Government Decree does not provide for any transfer between your initial degree and this master's degree. You may nevertheless have access to this master's degree, possibly by adding additional courses to your programme. Please contact the faculty that organises this master's programme to find out what you need to do. Requests for further information about admission should be addressed to Laurence Minguet.

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.

More information about Valuing Prior Learning at the School of Communication

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.

Students holding a 1st (minimum 3 years or 180 credits) or 2nd cycle (minimum 5 years or 300 credits) academic degree in information and communication or in a humanities discipline awarded by a university outside Europe recognised by the AUF (see https://www.whed.net/home.php and https://www.auf.org/les_membres/nos-membres/), must have obtained an average of at least 70% (or 14/20) for all the academic years of their 1st cycle successfully completed at their home university in order to be eligible to apply for admission to the master's programme in journalism (120).

These criteria will be strictly applied, which means that applications that do not meet them will be automatically rejected.

Admitted students will take the full 120-credit master's programme.

If their previous studies are deemed incomplete, additional courses (maximum 60 credits) may be added to their programme.
