Relevance of previous studies
For the first year - Master in Engineering degree (Diplôme Ingénieur) application:
- High-quality Bachelor's degree (min. 3 years of higher education such as Licence, Bachelor of Science) in digital science, mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, automatic, electronic engineering, modeling or equivalent programs
- French "BUT" degree in : computer science, GE2I, networks and telecommunications
For the second year - Master in Engineering degree (Diplôme Ingénieur) application:
- High-quality Bachelor's degree (min. 4 years of higher education such as Bachelor of Science) in digital science, mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, automatic, electronic engineering, modeling or equivalent programs

For all other Master degree application:
- High-quality Bachelor's degree (min. 3 years of higher education) in computer science, computer engineering, information technology, management of information systems, applied mathematics or equivalent programs
For Post Master degree application:
- High-quality Master's degree (min. 5 years of higher education), a degree of engineer delivered by the CTI, or equivalent
Excellent candidates with degrees in other fields will be considered if they have sufficient studies in the required subject areas.
The contents of the applicant’s previous degree(s) are evaluated based on the courses on the official transcript of records. Relevant work experience, professional certificates and online courses can also be taken into account in the evaluation, but they do not in general compensate for the absence of university-level studies covering the theoretical foundations of the required subjects.
Please visit respective program pages for more information.
- Strong foundations in mathematics
- Good programming skills (e.g. R, Python, Java)
Academic performance
The applicant’s academic performance will be evaluated based on the grade point average (GPA) and grades in key courses. The time spent on the previous studies will also be considered. EURECOM is looking for applicants with excellent academic performance in their previous studies. This means that the applicant has achieved consistently excellent grades throughout the degree studies (very high weighted average grade or GPA).
During the evaluation process, we assess relevance of previous studies and academic performance first. Only applications that meet the requirements for these two criteria will be evaluated further.
Recognition and quality of institution
We expect applicants to have completed their previous degree in a high-quality university and program. The recognition of the applicant’s home university also affects the interpretation of the grades when evaluating the academic performance.
Motivation and commitment to EURECOM studies
The applicant should tell us about their expectations to join EURECOM, career aspirations, relevant experience, and achievements. They should be motivated and be committed to full‐time studies with a plan to complete their degree.
We are looking for applicants who are able to express clearly their reasons for applying to EURECOM and describe why they would be excellent candidates for the program.
Other relevant achievements
Beyond their academic record, applicants may have other experience, knowledge and qualifications that prepare them for the Master’s studies and distinguish them among their peers. We particularly value relevant work experience in the area of the program, participation in scientific research leading to publications, entrepreneurship, and special achievements such as success in competitions.
