To find out the personal details of the teaching team for each degree program and the application and enrolment formalities, consult the course description sheet, Diplomas item.
Before enrolling in a higher education institution, you must supply proof that you have paid the Student and Campus Life Contribution (CVEC).
II - Enrolment fees
The enrolment fee rate depends on the curriculum, the study level, your situation and nationality.
Diplomas supported by the INSTN
The enrolment fees for INSTN’s own courses are training-specific. Refer to the tariffs for the relevant diplomas.
INSTN's own degrees are as follows:
DQPRM: Post-graduate diploma in Radiological and Medical Physics
GA: Advanced Graduate Degree in Nuclear Engineering
CPTR: Vocational Technician Certificate in Radiation Protection
Partnership and co-accreditation diplomas
The enrolment fees for the national bachelor’s degree, master’s or PhD diploma are set each year at national level by a joint Order of the Ministry for Higher Education and Research and the Minister in charge of the budget.
April 19 2019 Order governing enrolment fees in public higher education institutions, amended by Order on June 9 2020 and consolidated on July 10 2020, sets the enrolment fees for the 2020-2021 academic year.
Normal rate v reduced rate
Students enrolled in several higher education institutions to simultaneously prepare several different diplomas must pay the enrolment fees of each diploma at the full rate.
If they are enrolled in the same institution to prepare several diplomas, they must pay:
The 1st tuition fee at the full rate,
The other fees at the reduced rate.
If these tuition fees have different rates, the fee paid first is the one with the highest sum.
Differentiated fees for international students
The April 19 2019 Order sets the enrolment fees which will be applied to the international students enrolled in a public higher education institution under the authority of the Ministry for Higher Education. To find out about differentiated fees - students concerned, sum of the enrolment fees, possibility of exemption - consult the Campus France site.
Exemption from enrolment fees
Exemption conditions for scholarship students
Scholarship students are exempted from academic enrolment fees. They do not pay the tuition expenses or the mandatory Student and Campus Life Contribution.
Students exempted from paying the CVEC must apply to the CVEC department for proof of exemption and supply the latter.
Other cases of exemption from enrolment fees
Some students, particularly if they are refugees or job-seekers, may request to be exempted. Special exemptions may not account for more than 10 % of enrolled students per institution (not counting scholarship students and wards).
As part of the phase-in at the start of the 2019-2020 academic year of the rise in the enrolment costs for international students outside the European Union, a decree states the cases where these students are potentially unaffected by this rise, depending particularly on their country or their personal situation. Exemption may be either full or partial. Provision is also made for a waiver within the framework of a bilateral agreement with foreign countries. In this case, French schools and universities may cancel the increase in enrolment fees, provided that an equality and reciprocity principle is respected.
Payment and spreading
As a rule, enrolment costs must be paid all at once. The INSTN gives the possibility of paying enrolment fees in three stages, free of cost, on request at the time of your enrolment.
III - Student and Campus Life Contribution (CVEC)
What is the Student and Campus Life Contribution (CVEC)?
The CVEC is intended to promote the induction and the social, health, cultural and sporting support of the students and bolster health prevention and education actions. tThe CVEC is collected by the CROUS (Regional Organization for University and School Assistance) and not by the institution in which you make your enrolment.
It applies to all students prior to their enrolment in an initial course, including remote tuition, in a higher education institution. If you are an apprentice, you must pay the contribution, but you can apply to your employer for a refund.
If you enrol in several training courses within the same academic year, this contribution is only due during the first enrolment.
Who is exempted from the CVEC?
You are not liable to the CVEC and are therefore exempted if you are:
A student on an international exchange in France (as part of an agreement between your institution and a higher education institution in France, via Erasmus programs);
A student enrolled in a continuing professional development program (whose training expenses are borne by your employer or a fundraising organization);
A person on an apprenticeship program enrolled on a professional development contract only;
If you are in one of the above situations, no action is required on your part.
You may be exempted from paying the CVEC if you are:
A scholarship student or receive an annual allowance granted as part of specific support schemes;
A refugee student;
A beneficiary of humanitarian protection;
Registered as an asylum seeker and are entitled to remain on French territory.
Even if you are exempted from any payment, you must obtain an exemption certificate on the CVEC on-line payment site, with the exception of exchange students, who do not need to supply an exemption certificate. Please note that your educational institution will not be able to finalize your enrolment without the certificate.
Further detail on scholarship students
You are exempted from payment of the CVEC if you receive one of the following scholarships:
A means-tested scholarship administered by the Crous ;
A scholarship paid for by the regions (for students in paramedical, health and welfare courses);
A scholarship from the French government (BGF).
You are liable to pay the CVEC if you receive:
A scholarship from a foreign government (BGE);
A scholarship paid for by a private structure (for example a foundation).
How do you pay the CVEC?
There are two possible ways:
By logging on to the CVEC site: http://cvec.etudiant.gouv.fr/(bank card payment), item Log on. If you are enrolled in Parcoursup for the current year, you have received an e-mail on the creation of your account.

How to apply for a refund of the CVEC?

Requests for a refund will be submitted directly to the Crous via the CVEC application between October 1st and May 31st of the current academic year. The refund will not be available for all cases of exemption.
Happsy Line: psychological support scheme for INSTN students
In this complex and unprecedented health context, the INSTN set up in January 2021 the Happsy Line initiative for its students.
Funded by the CVEC with support from the Versailles Crous, the objective of the Happsy Line is to help students cope with any worries or concerns they may be going through and which may be preventing them from moving forward in their personal lives and studies.
Exceptional emergency support – Covid19
Owing to the Covid-19 health crisis, some students have been impacted by a loss of income. To help these students in difficulty, the INSTN has decided to allocate some of the CVEC funds to an exceptional emergency assistance scheme.
