Distance learning in science (EADS)
EADS is responsible for organizing distance learning courses in science and technology.
A scientific degree (Bachelor's or Master's) obtained by distance learning has the same institutional recognition as one obtained in the classroom.
You want to register as a student or auditor.
EADS offers distance learning courses for people :
- geographically remote,
- with reduced or restricted availability (continuing education, special study regimes: salaried learners, breadwinners, people with disabilities, high-level athletes and artists, dual registrations, etc.),
- impeded (hospitalized students, students deprived of their freedom, etc.).
The course of study and examination procedures are adapted.

Depending on your situation, before registering you should find out about the different admission procedures available for distance learning.
If you don't, your application will not be accepted.
Foreign students with no right of residence in France: You don't need to go through the "Etudes en France" system (formerly Campus France). A short-stay visa (tourist visa, etc.) is all you need to come to Marseille for your practical training and exams, for a maximum stay of 3 weeks.
The Teaching Committee meets according to the schedule on this page. You will be informed of your admission or rejection by e-mail only.
If you are admitted, you must confirm your application or withdraw on E-candidat. You must confirm or withdraw your application immediately after receiving the decision. If you fail to do so, you will be automatically deemed to have resigned and will lose the benefit of your application.
If you confirm your application, you will then receive an e-mail containing a link enabling you to finalize your administrative registration, followed by your pedagogical registration, which is compulsory to be authorized to attend courses and take exams.
All registration procedures are carried out remotely - you don't need to make an appointment or come to the school.
