As an adult returning to study, the Valorisation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE) scheme enables you to apply for admission to a university master's degree based on your professional experience and previous training. You must be able to prove at least 5 years' experience related to the studies in question 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 prior learning:
- Is your application admissible? Is the number of years sufficient?
- Are your skills and knowledge sufficient to follow the chosen course of study?

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

Your dossier must be fully completed and submitted to the relais-VAE of the faculty you wish to study at.

Don't forget to attach all the necessary supporting documents (copies of diplomas, employers' attestations, voluntary 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.
