Studying at Université Côte d'Azur

Information about Université Côte d'Azur for Prospective Students

institution

Université Côte d'Azur is proud to offer excellent higher education in a unique geographical location in Europe, located between the mountains and the sea. 

Our education offer 

Our education offer, ranging from bachelor's degrees to master's and PhD degrees and university diplomas, also includes short courses and distance learning. Our university is an internationally recognized research center, making it the ideal place to pursue academic studies in one of the many disciplines we offer. 

Our region is also home to many companies and vibrant entrepreneurial activity, so the employment rate after graduation is high: for example, the stable employment rate for master’s students 18 months after graduation is 80.8%. You can find more information here

Since we are a public university, the cost of our programs is subject to the national diploma system and also depends on family income: for non-scholarship-holders, our fees range from approximately €178 to €628 per year, and for international students from €2,895 to €3,941 per year.  

For our Master of Science programs, each application is unique so please contact the coordinator of the degree for more specific information: https://univ-cotedazur.eu/msc-programs/tuition-fees 

Life at Université Côte d'Azur  

At Université Côte d’Azur, the well-being of our students is one of the pillars of our strategy and values. 

A number of initiatives and programs have been put in place to achieve this: a health center, student-friendly accommodation, recreational, volunteer and festive activities for students and, most importantly, a wide range of sports facilities. Swimming, racquet sports, cycling, athletics, group running: each campus offers a range of activities and dedicated areas. 

The sublime Côte d’Azur beaches and the crystal waters of the Mediterranean sea form a perfect balance with the small hilltop villages of the hinterland and the green mountain valleys. In the spring, when winter is leaving the mountains and summer is arriving on the coast, it is possible to start your day on skis and end it on the beach. A whole art of living... 

The university’s location in the heart of Europe combined with easy access via the Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport makes it a gateway to the academic and scientific world. 

Master of science: a high-quality, international and interdisciplinary offer 

Aiming to prepare young generations for the professions of the future and provide solutions for the challenges we face, in 2018 Université Côte d’Azur developed a series of  international MSc programs, of which there are now 11. 
These programs of excellence are fully taught in English and involve the participation of leading academics and practitioners. They are built around regional objectives and prestigious international partnerships. These nationally-accredited MSc degree courses welcome students from around the world (more than 110 countries), a multiculturalism that is one of our strengths. 

But high quality is only one of our criteria, in addition we have built our programs around values that reflect who we are.
