The initial destination for all incoming QEM students in 2018 is Paris, where the Welcome Week is organized. During this week, students have the opportunity to meet all the admitted students of the 4 universities, participate in numerous activities and discover the city together.
Students should arrange their arrival to Paris and respect the dates of the meeting.
Additionally, accommodation could be requested by sending an email to qemapp@univ-paris1.fr, stating that you are a QEM student, the length of your stay, and any additional information you think may be of importance.
Payment of tuition fees
The first payment of €1,000.00 should be submitted to the Consortium within 21 days after the acceptance, the payment date of the rest of the tuition fees is determined by the QEM staff, no latter than before the beginning of the Master Program.
If the student is a beneficiary of an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship, the fees will be deducted from the grant amount.
The tuition fees can be submitted by the online Payment System on your personal registration form.
