If you pass the initial selection process, you will be invited to complete other steps

• Knowledge online tests (only for Science Track applicants)

If your application is complete and all your documents approved, you will be invited to take two tests to assess your basic knowledge, on the flavour & fragrance industry as well as in chemistry.

Those are not eliminatory, but will be considered in your application.

• Interview(s)

You will be invited to attend one or two interviews, depending on the track you chose, to meet the pedagogical team (MSc coordinator as well as MSc directors) and exchange about your professional project, motivations and knowledges on the Flavour and Fragrance Industry. This time will also be the opportunity for the MSc team to assess your English level.

The interview lasts about 30 minutes and is a decisive factor in the selection process.
 

You should expect a final decision within two months of submission of a complete application.

If you are accepted on the program, there will be some important steps you would need to take to confirm your registration and prepare for you arrival in France.
