Admission process for International students

Following the decision of the board of directors of July 7th 2025, individual international students will benefit from partial exoneration of registration fees at the University of Tours for 2026-2027.
Registration fees will thus be the same as the ones for French students. Applying to the University of Tours shall be considered as a request for exoneration.
For the 2026-2027 academic year, international students will therefore pay the same enrollment fees as French students.

You can find the 2025-2026 national rates for a registration in a French university here:  https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F2865?lang=en

This decision applies to all registration applications made at the University of Tours, with the exception of the Master's "Urban Planning & Sustainability" (Polytech Tours), and the Master's “Infectious Diseases and One Health (Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences). For these Masters, different fees will be applied according to the amount voted by the board of directors after consultation with the resources committee.
