The ETS (Educational Testing Service) has assigned the Université De Picardie Jules Verne the code number 5351 (For the International Office - Direction des Affaires Internationales).

We expect you to write something personnally on a topic in which you are interested (of course related to energy). So it is not necessary to send us research papers written by others, just because you find them good. It does not need to be very long, a short essay is enough, one or two pages. There is no particular format required.

Complaints about scholarship applications :

1. Contact the consortium/partnership of the course, if no solution is found:
2. Submit a complaint to the Agency

This appeal procedure can only come into play if a candidate feels that the consortium/partnership has not handled his/her own application in line with the scholarship application and selection process as described on their website and as presented to the Agency. In other words, the appeal cannot concern the decision itself, (usually negative) but only an alleged error made in the process that has resulted in the contested decision.

Complaints related to study periods and/or scholarship grants :

1. Check the student agreement
2. Dialogue with the consortium
3. A formal complaint to the consortium
4. A formal complaint to the Agency
