EIFFEL
The Eiffel Scholarship Program was developed by the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs to help French higher education institutions attract the best international students to their Master's degrees and PhD programs.
ThE program
The Eiffel Scholarship Program is designed to train future foreign decision-makers from the private and public sectors in priority areas of study, and to encourage students from emerging and industrialised countries aged 30 or under to apply for a PhD.
All applications must be submitted within the framework of an international cotutelle or co-supervised PhD.
Academic fields
- Humanities and social sciences: history, French language and civilisation, law and political sciences, economy and management
- Science and technology: biology and health, ecological transition, mathematics and digital studies, engineering sciences
Duration of the scholarship
The Eiffel scholarship can be awarded for period of 6 to 36 months:
- 36 months for candidates pursuing a co-supervised or cotutelle PhD and who will be enrolled in their 1st year of doctoral studies only (the number of scholarships is limited);
- 18 months, 12 months or 6 months for candidates already working on their thesis or newcomers to France, pursuing a co-supervised or cotutelle PhD.
All applications must go through the University of Bordeaux, which centralises all applications and submits them to Campus France. Applications sent directly to Campus France will be immediately rejected.
Please note that the deadline for applications to the University of Bordeaux is different from the one indicated on the Campus France website.
