Finance your studies - EM Strasbourg

Plan your finances

To study with peace of mind, it is important to plan your finances (income and expenditure) for the year ahead. To help you fund your studies, it is a good idea to take out a bank loan to cover the full cost of your tuition fees.

Scholarships provide additional support, particularly for studying abroad. However, they will not be enough to cover the full cost of your studies, which is why a bank loan is a good option.

Guide of banks' offers

Find the “Guide des offres des banques partenaires" (see document below). It is the guide of 2025-2026 academic year. The new one would be updated in June 2026. Please note that it is difficult for foreign students to obtain a bank loan, although some banks do occasionally grant small loans.
