Academic Referees

Once you have entered the contact details of your professional or academic referees in your application form, an e-mail will be sent inviting them to complete the recommendation form which will be automatically attached to your online application.

We therefore recommend that you make arrangements with your referees beforehand and make sure that they will be able to respond to your request. Bear in mind that your referees receive many such requests.

Make sure your referees know when the reference is due and in which language they must write it. If they don't use the required language, your application will be considered incomplete and will not be processed. 

If you are applying to a dual degree programme with a non-French partner university, the references must be written in English.

Be sure your referees know that the reference must be completed online. The quality of your file depends on it. It is your responsibility to make sure your referees have received the email asking them to complete the reference form.

If they have not received it, please contact us.
