Tuition fees

601€ (2023/2024) in initial training, for EU students.

For non-EU students:
The institution applies the regulation which induces the payment of differentiated registration fees by non-EU students. The full amount of the registration fee is not necessarily due at the beginning of the year: payment can be staggered. In addition, accepted students will receive information on the various grants available to Grenoble INP-UGA students. If the personal situation justifies it, a partial or total exemption may be decided upon, upon request, to the Student Social Commission. The Commission's decision is based on a social evaluation with an examination of the financial resources of the student and his/her family. Exemption from registration fees cannot be guaranteed, as the number of exempted students is limited by national regulations.

CVEC : 92 € (2023/2024)
