Frequently Asked Questions

UPVD is small enough that students, faculty, and staff work closely together. That personal scale fosters strong academic support, a friendly environment, and high visibility among faculty. Nestled between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, the university offers a relaxed setting with cultural richness, easy access to outdoor life, and strategic ties to Catalan‑speaking regions. Its multidisciplinary offerings, local research strengths (like solar energy and environment), and international connections make it a solid mix of heritage, opportunity, and regional identity.
Anyone holding a secondary school certificate or equivalent (Baccalauréat, IB, A‑levels, etc.) can apply. Through platforms like Parcoursup (for first‑year undergraduate) or ecandidat / Campus France (for transfer or international applicants), you submit your academic credentials and language proof. International students follow guidelines based on whether they live in a country with the Campus France (CEF) procedure—this determines whether they file a DAP application or use national platforms. Requirements and deadlines shift each year, so it’s critical to check the most current application portal.
UPVD follows French public university fee schedules. For the 2024–2025 academic year, the fees are around €254 for a Master’s and €178 for a Licence. International non‑EU students now pay the same rates thanks to a 2023 decision. EU and exchange students also enjoy waived fees if they hold recognized scholarships. Additional costs can include small charges for student cards, sports access, or library services, but the base academic fees remain low to ensure accessibility.
