Summer School (SoMaS) during S4


The French-German University (UFA / DFH) will grant a scholarship to every IM- PolyS master student in order to support her/his mobility to the

partner university:

• during S1

for students registered in Freiburg • during S2 for students registered in Strasbourg• during S3/S4 for students studying also at the partner university

The financial support is 270€

per month of mobility.

An intensive language course in French or German is planned at the beginning of S1.

The master IM-PolyS is presently applying for an IDEX "Degree of Excellence".


•

Who can apply?–

Bachelor degree in Chemistry, Physics or Engineering

–

Proficiency in English (B2 level)(major part of the teaching will be in English)

–

B1 level in German or French recommended
