Training that disappears from the platform forcing candidates to re-enter their application, unnecessary documents requested, a long and time-consuming procedure… And a site undergoing maintenance four days before closing. As the period of wishes on the brand new My Masters platform was due to end on Tuesday, April 18, the ministry granted students an additional forty-eight hours to submit their applications.

Announced in 2022 and postponed to 2023, Mon master, a sort of Parcousup dedicated to holders of a license, was launched in February by the Ministry of Higher Education. The platform should facilitate the assignment of students for their two years of master’s and reduce the tensions between supply and demand, by bringing together the entire offer of master’s training available in France, i.e. more than 3,500 mentions distributed in 8,000 courses – each mention wish leads to one or more specialties, the “courses”, followed in the second year of the master’s degree. Each student can register up to thirty wishes: fifteen in classical training and fifteen in work-study.
