International Master Polymer Science
The French-German University (UFA / DFH) will grant a scholarship to every IM- PolyS master student in order to support her/his mobility to the
partner university:
• during S1
for students registered in Freiburg • during S2 for students registered in Strasbourg• during S3/S4 for students studying also at the partner university
The financial support is 270€
per month of mobility.
An intensive language course in French or German is planned at the beginning of S1.
The master IM-PolyS is presently applying for an IDEX "Degree of Excellence".
International Master Polymer Science
