LOCATION: France

The Ecole normale supérieure aims at varying its students’ profiles and incorporates students to be enrolled in the 3rd year of bachelor (licence 3) or 1st year of master (master 1), coming from all over the world and from all disciplines. The competitive examination of the International selection is intended for young graduates in Arts & Humanities as well as Sciences, who justify at least one year of undergraduate studies in a foreign university and distinguish themselves with outstanding results.

ELIGIBILITY:

Candidates must not be after their 26th birthday on December 1st.

Candidates must not have applied to the International Selection before. Applications of former candidates will be identified by the school and will not be transmitted for review to the juries.

Candidates must not have lived in France more than 10 months during the academic year of the selection (September 1st – August 31st) nor the previous year.

Candidates must justify at least one year of undergraduate studies awarded by a foreign university during the calendar year preceding the start of applications.

Candidates must justify at least two years of undergraduate studies in a foreign university on the 1st of September following admission.

You must fill and validate the initial application form: https://formulaires.ens.psl.eu/

Within 2 days, you receive an email to activate an account on Dematec, an application where you must upload the required documents in PDF format.

If your file on Dematec is complete, it is submitted to the jury.

If the jury selects your dossier, you are invited to take written and oral tests remotely.

The marks obtained at the tests determine the list of admitted students.

BENEFIT:

Joining ENS through the competitive examination of the International selection gives access to training of excellence, through contact with exceptional researchers, in a privileged training and research environment. Integrated into the community of the normaliens, international students continue their studies at ENS and at the university at the same time, while benefiting from a 1000 euros grant for 3 years and from a room on one of the ENS campuses. At the end of their studies, these students have graduated with a master’s degree in their specialty and with the diploma of École normale supérieure.

CAMBRIDGE TRUST INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS & VICE-CHANCELLOR’S AWARDS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Tuesday 02 December 2025 and Tuesday 07 January 2026.

LOCATION: England

The Cambridge Trust is pleased to offer the following scholarships to applicants who will be undertaking research leading to the degree of PhD at the University of Cambridge in the next academic year:

Cambridge Trust International Scholarships—for applicants from countries other than the UK or Ireland who are required to pay fees at the international rate

Vice-Chancellor’s Awards—for applicants from the UK and Ireland who are required to pay fees at the home rate

The aim of the Cambridge Trust International Scholarships and Vice-Chancellor’s Awards is to ensure that the highest-scoring students, irrespective of nationality, receive full financial support to undertake PhD studies. 

ELIGIBILITY:

The eligibility requirements for most postgraduate Cambridge scholarships are:

significant academic achievement and potential

financial need (although some scholarship programmes are based on academic merit alone)

Degree level: Applicants must be intending to start a course at the level of:

Masters (such as MPhil, MASt, LLM but with some restrictions—see Important information section below)

Research postgraduate (such as PhD)

Nationality: All students, irrespective of nationality, are eligible for postgraduate awards.

Subject: Applicants may study any subject currently available at the University of Cambridge. Please visit the postgraduate course directory for further information.

Application and admission: Postgraduate scholarships are available only for study at the University of Cambridge and require that you apply to the University for admission by the relevant funding deadline (please visit Applying for postgraduate funding for full details) and have a conditional offer of admission.

You do not need to apply to the Cambridge Trust directly, as an application for funding can be made as part of your application for admission to the University.

All students must be admitted to the University of Cambridge through the normal application procedures. The Trust plays no role in the admission of applicants to the University and is not able to influence the chances of an applicant being offered a place.

The University sets minimum standards—check the requirements for postgraduates.

Applicants are encouraged to meet the entry requirements of the University as early as possible, including (if necessary) the completion of an English language test. This will help to prevent the Trust from offering valuable scholarships to students who are ultimately unable to take up their places at Cambridge.

BENEFIT:

The Trust offers fully or partially funded scholarships
