A term at DSTI, credited with ECTS.
University students can spend one or two terms on campus at DSTI, on the French Riviera, in Paris or on both campuses, taking courses from our BSc or MSc programmes, 100% taught in English, alongside degree students. Validated courses appear on a European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System transcript.
01 — How it works
Apply directly, from any university.
You apply to DSTI yourself, whatever your home university. Your courses are then set out in a learning agreement with your home institution, which prepares the recognition of your credits.
Apply directly
Open to students of any university.
The fee is €1,200 per 10 ECTS: €3,600 for a full 30-ECTS term.
Learning agreement
Agreed before you arrive.
Your home institution decides how it recognises your ECTS credits. DSTI’s course descriptions, with their hours and ECTS, support its review.
For universities
Exchange agreements welcome.
DSTI welcomes universities that wish to set up exchange agreements for their students. Start the conversation.
02 — Choose your campus
French Riviera, Paris, or both.
DSTI is one school on two campuses, with the same programmes and the same teaching. Spend your stay at Sophia Antipolis on the French Riviera or in central Paris, or divide your time between both campuses.
French Riviera
Sophia Antipolis
In Europe’s first technology park, between Nice, Antibes and Cannes.
The Riviera campus
Paris
Central Paris
In Paris’s 5th arrondissement, with the city’s universities, libraries and museums around you.
The Paris campus
One DSTI
Both campuses
Move between the two campuses as you wish and discover two sides of France. DSTI is one school: how you divide your time is entirely your choice.
03 — Courses
Pick courses from our degree programmes.
Each programme page lists its courses with hours, ECTS and, for many, an “Inside the course” account of what is actually taught. Combine courses up to 30 ECTS per term, subject to timetable compatibility. MSc courses are open to students enrolled in a Master’s programme of equivalent scope. You follow the same rules as degree students: physical attendance on campus, and assessment by examinations, coursework and participation. A course is acquired at 60%, and its ECTS credits are recorded on your official transcript.
