The University of Limoges uses the French public university registration-fee model for a number of programmes leading to national diplomas. The registration fee for national degrees is usually €178 per year (Licence / bachelor’s-level programmes), €254 per year (Master’s-level programmes) and €397 per year (Doctoral registration). CVEC is the contribution of €105 per year for student and campus life, unless exempt.

Depending on the applicant category, exemption status and programme registration rules, non-EU differentiated fees may apply. Some international classes, engineering-related routes, university diplomas, continuing education, health routes, professional training and special institutional programmes may have different fee rules.
