Since the start of the 2022/23 academic year, non-EU students have had to pay differentiated fees (i.e. registration fees different from those applicable to EU nationals), with the exception of certain cases defined in the national exemption framework.
Anautomatic partial exemption from the differentiated registration fee will therefore be applied to all students subject to the differentiated fee who are registered for a national diploma , nationals of countries listed in color (see right-hand column)
