Applications are now open for the Master's and PhD Track programs at Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) for the 2027-2028 academic year. Ranked #2 in France and #43 in the world (QS 2027), IP Paris trains students who aspire to cutting-edge international careers. In this article, you'll find everything you need to know to apply to an IP Paris Master's or PhD Track program.

Key takeaways

✓Applications open since October 28, 2026
✓Master's: 3 sessions through May 31, 2027; the first one closes on January 14

The Master's and PhD Track programs are designed for students who hold a Bachelor's degree or a French Licence (or are completing one) and are looking for a top-tier education. Students may also enter directly into the second year of a Master's program, provided they have completed a first year of a Master's program at an institution of a level equivalent to IP Paris, in France or abroad.

Master's

IP Paris offers two-year international Master's programs in fundamental and applied sciences. We offer 19 Master's programs and over 60 specializations in computer science, chemistry, physics, sustainable development, mechanics, and other cutting-edge fields.

Applications for the 2027–2028 academic year via the IP Paris platform are open in three sessions: the first runs from October 28, 2026, to January 14, 2027; the second from January 15 to March 31, 2027; and the third and final session from April 1 to May 31, 2027. Please note that some programs may not be open in the third session.

Two platforms are available to apply to an IP Paris Master's program: the IP Paris application platform and the MonMaster national platform (see the MonMaster website for its calendar and procedures). Depending on your nationality, country of residence, and chosen program, you must apply through one or the other.

Applications are reviewed session by session. Apply in the first session to maximize your chances and receive your decision sooner.

PhD Track

The PhD Track is a combined program that integrates a Master's degree and a PhD. This five-year program of excellence, taught in English, is designed for students with strong research potential. This flexible, tailored curriculum paves the way to doctoral studies: students begin working on their thesis project during the Master's phase. IP Paris offers 10 PhD Track programs ranging from biomedical engineering to chemistry, including data and artificial intelligence, quantum science and technology, mathematics, and electronics, among others.

PhD Track students benefit from reduced tuition fees of €243 per year during the Master's phase and €380 per year during the PhD phase. Top applicants are eligible for excellence scholarships.

The PhD Track has a single admission session, which closes on January 14, 2027. Applications must be submitted exclusively through the IP Paris application platform.

Required documents

Applications are submitted online only. Here are the main documents required for a Master's or PhD Track application:

  • ID document and ID photo
  • Diplomas and academic transcripts
  • Two academic references (please note that it is your responsibility to make sure your referees submit their references online)
  • Résumé/CV (2 pages maximum)
  • Proof of language proficiency, if required for your profile
  • A statement of purpose for each program
  • If you are already a student at IP Paris or one of its six member schools: your certificate of enrollment

Additional documents may be required depending on the program.

Good to know:

All documents must be in French or English. For diplomas and transcripts issued in another language, include a certified translation combined with the original in a single file. Your documents must be clear and legible, with no glare; do not add any documents that are not requested. Finally, unsigned reference letters, or letters written by yourself or by family and friends, will not be accepted.

Scholarships and funding

Several funding options can help you finance your studies at IP Paris: need-based grants awarded by the CROUS (French student services), French government scholarships for international students, and financial aid offered by each school.

For the PhD Track, no additional application is required. If you are admitted, a committee automatically reviews your application for an excellence scholarship, which can reach up to €10,000 per year during the Master's phase, with the possibility of doctoral funding afterward. Tuition fees are also reduced for all admitted students, whether or not they receive a scholarship.

Tips for a successful application

  • Plan ahead

Some documents, such as certified translations or official certificates, can take a long time to obtain. Likewise, notify your referees early and double-check their email addresses before submitting your application.

  • Visit your program's page

Read the page of the program you are interested in carefully and take its requirements into account. They may vary from one program to another: English proficiency level, specific documents, and whether the program is open in session 3.

  • Customize each application

You can apply to both a Master's program and the PhD Track. Each application is evaluated separately, so write a résumé/CV and a statement of purpose specific to each one. Please note that you may not apply to the same program twice.
