Admission criteria:
Candidates
with education in human and social sciences (economics, geography,
development, management, law, etc.) or hard sciences (agriculture,
environmental sciences, engineering, etc.) will be accepted to the
Master. A basic knowledge of economics will be appreciated.
A good command of English and/or French, both spoken and written, is required. Students
without a good command in one of the two languages, will be requested
to attend a compulsory language training, outside the curriculum.
Each
university could offer English and French language courses before or
during each study semester. These courses will be charged about 250€
for about 30 hrs (on very provisional data). The students will be
informed of their French and English language level at the time of
admission and after the end of each study semester. They could be
invited to reach the written or/and spoken language required level
outside the curriculum, on their own charge. To avoid any kind of
problems, we advise students who don't have a good command of one of the
two languages to take language courses before the beginning of STeDe.
