In accordance with the decree of April 19, 2019, setting the tuition fees applicable to non-EU international students enrolled in a public higher education institution, differentiated fees were approved by the University Clermont Auvergne¡¯s Board of Directors during its session on September 27, 2019. Due to the health context, UCA has decided to postpone the implementation of differentiated fees for non-EU students. Their application is expected to take effect starting from the 2025/2026 academic year.
 

Important Information:

The UCA Board of Directors, in its meeting on December 13, 2023, decided to postpone the partial exemption for the 2024/2025 academic year.
As a result, non-EU students will pay the same tuition fees as national and European students for the 2024/2025 academic year.
