► Quality of the previous courses/career (previous transcripts will be needed)
► Motivation letter (2 pages long)
► Reference letters : with at least two reference letters written by professors, managers, etc. (from internship, association, work)
► Diplomas (A-Levels or equivalent, bachelor, master, ph.D)
Candidates for Master MITRA must hold a high education diploma issued by a competent High Education authority attesting the completion of a degree equivalent to a 1st cycle (180 ECTS) in the following fields: Languages, Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts, Law, and, by the way of derogation, holders of other bachelors with relevant professional experience.
► Research project : in adequacy with the MITRA theme/actuality and completed by bibliographic references. The research project is a text of 10,000 characters at most, including the short final bibliography listing relevant references. The project delineates the social study on transnational migrations that you would like to undertake during your time in the MITRA program. You can first present the general theme of the project, then the personal, scientific, and/or political reasons why you think this issue is important, the research hypothesis that should guide you investigation, and lastly the specific object on which you could do fieldwork (i.e., a specific community, a neighborhood, an association, a place, etc.). Keep in mind that this project can evolve and even radically change during your first months in the MITRA program.
► English level attestation (B2 to C2)
► French level attestation (B2 to C2)
Important! MITRA is a bilingual master, and a certificate of minimum level B2 in French and English is required independently of the language patch chosen. We accept any type of certification as long as it is recognized by the issuing country.
The MITRA admission jury does not require proof of French language skills to be provided by an attestation from a specific language certification organisation. However, the official nature of the attestation requested must allow the jury to determine as objectively as possible that at least a B2 level has been obtained by the candidate.
