The Valorisation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE) system enables you to apply for a university master's degree based on your professional experience and previous training. A minimum of 5 years' experience relevant to the studies in question is required to consider admission to a master's degree by VAE.

The VAE dossier is an integral part of your application. On the basis of your VAE dossier, the jury assesses your achievements:
- Is your application admissible? Is the number of years sufficient?
- Are your skills and knowledge sufficient to follow the studies you have chosen?

Please make sure you spell out your professional and personal experience and relate it to the training you wish to access.

Your dossier must be fully completed and handed in to the relais-VAE of the faculty in which you wish to study.

Don't forget to attach all the necessary supporting documents (copies of diplomas, employers' attestations, volunteer work attestations, training attestations, certificates, evidence of completion of a personal project, etc.).

The VAE dossier may vary from one faculty to another and even from one training course to another depending on the criteria adopted to assess your prior learning.
