Hello fellow students! As an ambassador representing Bangladeshi students here at Aix-Marseille University (AMU), I am frequently asked about the TIGER Excellence Master’s Scholarship. This is a fantastic opportunity for high-achieving candidates to elevate their academic journey in France. Also to mention It's is important to note that the French master's system differs from the system in Bangladesh. A master's degree here is typically a two-year process (M1 and M2). Depending on your prior qualifications and the program requirements, you may be eligible to enroll in either the first year (M1) or directly into the second year (M2).
