For Year 4, students can choose to study for a 1- or 2-year Master’s degree in France or abroad, in which case, if there are tuition fees, they are to be paid directly to the host institution.

For French Nationals

French students at École Polytechnique serve under military status and receive a remuneration for the duration of their studies. There are no study costs for French students, on the condition that they work for the civil service for at least 10 years within the 20 years following their graduation. Otherwise, they must repay the tuition fees:

As of today, the total amount to be repaid is set at:

€21,000 for students who have chosen to join a government body for Year 4
€31,000 for students who have not chosen to join a government body for Year 4

This amount is reduced according to the amount of time spent in the civil service.
