Watch points

  • La bourse n’équivaut pas à l’admission en master

    “Selection for the award of a scholarship by ANRS MIE does not constitute admission to a master’s program. Admission is the sole responsibility of the educational institutions, according to their selection criteria.”

    Official text (French): La sélection pour attribution d’une bourse par l’ANRS MIE ne vaut pas admission en master. L’admission relève exclusivement des établissements d’enseignement, selon leurs critères de sélection

Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « selection »: it is not only the evaluation of the application, it is also the choice of an internship that anchors the candidacy. The right move is to start from an internship offer that fits your project, then build the master’s case and scientific rationale around it. Do not treat the scholarship as university admission, because ANRS MIE and the host institution play two separate roles. Download the internship offers, choose one that matches your background, and prepare the admission to the chosen master’s program in parallel.
