Registration Fees
Students must pay the registration fee and the deposit together in a single, full payment. This step is mandatory to confirm your enrollment.
What you should plan for EU and non‑EU students
Non‑EU students (requiring a visa): registration fee €300.
EU students (not requiring a visa): registration fee €200.
School Documents
The Admission Letter is issued once the registration fee and deposit have been received, and can be used for your initial administrative steps. The Enrollment Certificate (Certificat de scolarité) is issued once the program session officially begins.
These documents are required for your visa application* at the French consulate.
Admission Letter and Enrollment Certificate for your visa
After the registration fee and deposit are paid, ISMAC will issue your Admission Letter and later your Enrollment Certificate (Certificat de scolarité). These documents are required for your visa and administrative procedures in France. Make sure to include them in your application to the French consulate.
After the initial payment, the remaining tuition balance can be paid in up to 6 installments, either by direct debit or bank check.
Estimated total cost per year
In addition to tuition fees and registration fees, international students should plan for their living expenses in Paris (accommodation, food, transport, insurance, etc.).
A realistic monthly budget is usually between €800 and €1,200, depending on your lifestyle and housing choice. This means you should plan for roughly €9,600 to €14,400 per year for living expenses, on top of your tuition fees.
How to prove your financial resources
International students may be asked to show that they have sufficient financial resources to cover at least one year of tuition and living expenses. You can prepare the following documents:
Bank statements or a bank letter showing regular funds.
A sponsorship letter from your family or guarantor, with their bank statements and tax documents.
Scholarship confirmation or internship / part‑time job contract if you will earn income in France.
If you are in an apprenticeship program, your apprenticeship contract is very strong evidence because your tuition fees are fully covered by the host company.
Explore reliable external funding options to support your studies in France. French government scholarships (like Eiffel for PhD students), country-specific programs from local French embassies, and Erasmus+ mobility grants are key resources for international students.
Key Funding Sources:
French Government Scholarships: Programs such as Eiffel, promoted through official channels.
French Embassy Scholarships: Tailored aid from your home country’s French embassy (contact your local SCAC).
Erasmus+ Mobility Funding: Grants for exchange students with European partnerships.

A student loan is a consumer credit designed to finance your studies. It offers the possibility of deferred repayment, enabling you to start repaying once you’ve graduated and entered professional life.
ISMAC has set up partnerships with a number of banks offering advantageous conditions specially adapted to ISMAC students. Please see below for contact details.
ISMAC students can earn a living through part-time jobs. Numerous offers are made by ISMAC partners and other school associations during the year.
In addition, internships can be paid or indemnified. The first-year internship can be converted into a fixed-term contract for students who can earn a salary (generally the minimum wage, i.e. €1 443,11 per month).
Non-EU students on a student visa are authorized to work up to 964 hours per year in France.
If you are an international student, here is a simple checklist:
Choose your program and check the tuition fees and registration fee.
Plan your total budget (tuition + registration + living expenses for the year).
Decide how you will pay: family support, scholarships, bank loan, internship, or part‑time job.
Prepare proof of financial resources (bank statements, sponsorship letter, scholarship, or job/internship contract).
Pay the registration fee and deposit to receive your Admission Letter and Enrollment Certificate.
Use these documents for your visa and other administrative steps in France.
Apprenticeship
In apprenticeship programs, tuition fees are fully covered by the host company. This means that apprentices can present their apprenticeship contract as strong evidence of financial support for their studies. This is especially helpful when proving that you have enough funds to live and study in France.
