- Recommandation letter or internship evaluation (recommended).

- A completed questionnaire of auto-evaluation.

- English level evaluation.

References for international students

International students are asked to provide 2 contact persons to serve as reference to recommend you. This is redundant with "Recommandation letter or internship evaluation". You can either upload the recommendation letter manually (yourself) in this section, or skip it. Your references will be contacted anyways separately to provide a recommendation.

Preferably use the institutional emails of your references to make the references more credible.

I submitted my candidature but forgot something, how can I add it?

You cannot, sorry. You must destroy your first candidature and create a new one!

I destroyed my application accidentally can you revert this or accept my files by email?

No. You need to create a new account and re-enter everything on the platform by hand.

Due to special circumstances (e.g. COVID-19 epidemic) I had to telecommute for my internship, should I mention it?

You can add internships performed while telecommuting in your work experience, as well as other work experiences performed during the confinement, as long as you could perform your duties.

Where is the "Selection Sheet" ("Fiche de choix"), and what is this good for?

Simply attach a PDF file with title: "Selection Sheet" including the master programs to which you applied, IN ORDER of PREFERENCE, and numbered

(1) 1st choice (preferred)

(2) 2nd choice

(3) etc.

Is the "M1 machine learning" the same thing as "M1 artificial intelligence"?

Yes, there seems to be an incoherence on the platform. If you see that, it is OK.

Can I enter directly in the second year (M2 level)?

We do not recommend it, unless you have completed a 4-year Computer Science Bachelor degree or equivalent, with a strong emphasis on Machine Learning/AI/Data science. The classes you should have taken should include most of the M1 classes of our program, and at least all PRE classes, TC0-3, and OPT4. In exceptional cases, you may also apply to enter at the M2 level if you interrupted your studies more than 2 years can justify of continuous education classes and/or professional experience that is equivalent to the M1 classes we offer. In this case, you should prepare a special application (VAPP=Validation des Acquis Professionnels et Personnels).

What are the conditions to attend the M2 level if I am a third-year student of an engineering school (double cursus)?

You may apply, but take into account the prerequisites. You may have to follow M1 level modules, e.g. 2 PRE classes to catch up and be allowed to follow more advanced classed. At the M2 level, two PRE classes count for only one module (2.5 ECTS). Check with your school the number of ECTS you need to graduate. As of last year, the rules were:

- The ENSIIE students must follow at least 10 modules instead of 12 in S3 (the 6 TC and 4 OPTs in theory). The students earn 5 ECTS of the ENSIIE. If they take more modules in the M2 program, only the 10 best results count in the average. In S4 they are exempt from FVE and English, unless they wish.

- The ENSTA students must follow at least 7 modules instead of 12 in S3 (3 TC and 4 OPTs in theory). The students earn 12.5 ECTS from ENSTA. If they follow more modules in the M2 program ,only the 7 best results count in the average. In S4 they are exempt from FVE and English, unless they wish.

- The CentraleSupélec students must follow at least 4 modules instead of 12 in S3 (2 TC and 2 OPTs in theory). The students earn 20 ECTS from CentraleSupélec. If they follow more modules in the M2 program, only the 4 best results count in the average. In S4 they are also exempt from FVE and English, unless they wish.

- The Télécom students must follow the M2 curriculum in S3, similarly to the "classic" M2 IA cursus. In S4 they are exempt from FVE and English, unless they wish.

Do I need to include a "Dossier VAPP"?

Not necessarily. Only if you cannot justify of the right academic profile and you want other personal or professional experiences to be taken into account. See VAPP instructions. This Dossier VAPP can be useful at the M1 or M1 entry level, if you interrupted your studies more than 2 years, and want to capitalize on personal or professional experience to compensate for missing academic credentials.

As a foreign student, I cannot see my diplomas in the list, what should I select?

- Baccalauréat ou équivalent:

* Equivalence BAC diplôme ou titre étrang.

* Equivalence BAC

- Cursus précédent:

* Bachelor of Science

Do I need to submit my high-school grade transcript?

No.

I am a foreign student, do I need to complete the Campus France Procedure (CEP) and when?

Yes, if you come from one of the following countries:

Algérie, Argentine, Bénin, Brésil, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroun, Chili, Chine, Colombie, Comores, Congo, Corée du Sud, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Egypte, Etats-Unis, Gabon, Guinée, Haïti, Inde, Indonésie, Iran, Japon, Koweit, Liban, Madagascar, Mali, Maroc, Maurice, Mauritanie, Mexique, Nigeria, Pérou, République démocratique du Congo, Russie, Sénégal, Singapour, Taïwan, Tchad, Togo, Tunisie, Turquie, Vietnam.

How will classes be organized during Covid?

The university has issued guidelines, which are [summarized here]. See also this "cheatsheet".

Given government recommendations and the university policy, last update aug 28, as well as the fact that many students of the AI parcourse are from abroad and have difficulties obtaining a visa, at least in the first semester, theoretical classes and some exercise classes will be taught remotely. It will be possible for students who cannot physically come to campus to study entirely remotely. The instructors will communicate the modalities to the students.

ALL students are responsible to get equipped with a personal compter an Internet connection allowing them to attend videoconferences and perform homework remotely. If you have difficulties getting proper equipment, please contact us.

Although your presence on campus is not strictly required, meeting with your instructors, at least occasionally, for question sessions and/or practical work, and working with your fellow students may enhance your learning experience. We encourage you to do so, but to respect strictly university regulations:

- PLEASE WEAR MASKS WHEN YOU COME TO CLASS.

- The university mandates that masks be warn in all closed spaces and outside when distance >1m cannot be respected.

If you cannot (or do not want to) respect these guidelines, DO NOT GO TO CAMPUS. To get a free cloth mask, please contact us.

- International students must get a medical examination, contact medecine preventive. Follow advice to international students.

Students are encouraged to get in touch with each other and self-organize. To that end, we have set up a Google group. Safely meet to study together in small group observing social distancing and wearing masks. On place to meet is La maison des étudiants de Paris-Saclay. Preferably meet outside when the weather permits.

Do not wait until you get anxious, depressed, or demotivated to ask for help, please contact us. We conducted a survey last semester on studying during confinement. Here are some tips other students want to share with you to study effectively:

• 1. Attend classes regularly

  2. Get fast and reliable Internet

  3. Do homework regularly

  4. Use on-line resources

  5. Communicate on-line with other students

  6. Do homework together with other students

  7. Alternate studying and doing physical exercise

  8. Take regularly little breaks

Besides, take good care of yourself:

• Eat well

• Sleep well

• Exercise

• Drink water regularly

• Go out in the sun

And do not neglect your social life:

• Have regular video-conferences

• Check on your friends and family

• Cook or eat together (even remotely)

• Play games together (even remotely)

Nor your hobbies:

• Learn something new

• Talk to someone

• Do some sports
