Key documents you’ll typically need when applying to a Master of Science & Technology program at École Polytechnique:

Official Bachelor’s transcripts and diploma
You must hold a recognized bachelor’s degree (minimum 180 ECTS or equivalent) in a related scientific or engineering field. Transcripts must include detailed course records—grades, credits, and course descriptions. If your documents aren’t in English or French, certified translations are required. Admissions are conditional on completing your degree before enrolment(Shiksha, Reddit).

Curriculum vitae (CV) or résumé
Provide a polished academic and professional overview. Highlight research projects, internships, awards, leadership roles, publications, or extracurriculars. Your CV helps illustrate why you’re a good match for the field and program

Personal statement or motivation letter
Write clearly about your academic background, research interests, motivation for the MSc, and career goals—tailored to your chosen specialization. Explain what makes your profile stand out and how the program fits your aspirations

Two academic references/contact details of referees
You’ll submit referees’ names and emails. After submission, the school contacts them to upload letters. Choose referees who can vouch for your academic strength, research potential, and fit with your chosen specialization

Proof of language proficiency
You must show sufficient command of English (and sometimes French depending on the program). Accepted tests include TOEFL iBT (≥?90 with minimum ~22 per skill), IELTS (≥?6.5 with minimum ~6 per section), TOEIC, TCF, or DALF/DELF as required. Native or recent prior education in English may exempt you if approved

Copy of passport or national ID
Upload a clear, valid government-issued ID. This verifies your identity and citizenship status. International students especially need this for administrative purposes—visa, residence permit, and enrollment
