Important information for application !

  • Required background
Students coming from main background : civil engineering, medicine, pharmacy, architecture, accounting law will not be accepted unless they have a minimum background in Chemistry or Physics (at Bachelor level).

  • Letters of recommendation
Letters of recommendation are compulsory. They can be written by a Professor or a non-academic relation (for example the intership responsible). We recommand that at least one reference letter will be written by a university professor.

If your professor did not receive the automatic email for sending the recommendation letter, maybe it is in the SPAM of your professors e-mail box. Please ask him/ her to check.
In a second time, student can resend the mail from his own account to send the automtic mail with link to the professor again.
In a third time, eventually, the Professor can send the letter to Ch Cloarec. We do not advise this last solution, as it is possible that a reference letter in that context can get lost. The secured way is that your reference professor will upload the letter directly to your application file.

  • Documents to provide
  • English level
The English level certificate is compulsory. All lectures during Mamaself program are in English, so the level in English needs to be sufficient for the lectures. So please provide a TOEFL or IELTS or test or equivalent . If your education in your country was in English, then please provide a certificate from your University confirming it.

  • Bachelor degree
Students who are in their Bachelor year will show a certificate of registration in the third Bachelor year instead of the diploma, and will show the diploma during next summer.
