trouvermonmaster.gouv.fr is a Web portal that lists all national
master's degrees in France, as well as the procedures for applying for them, the number of places available, the selection criteria and the timetable. The site is not designed to collect applications, which are sent directly to the institutions.
The search for a Master's degree is carried out using several criteria: by discipline ("mention"), by sub-discipline ("parcours"), keyword, name of the institution, its location. The results include the number of places available as well as a direct weblink to the institutions and the full description of the courses. The results can be sorted and saved using bookmarks ("favoris").
Not all graduate programmes are listed, only those accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

Selection of applications
Since 2016, universities have been allowed to select their master's students. The « Je suis accompagné » ("I am accompanied") service offers students who have not received a positive response to their application the possibility to receive support from the Ministry in order to obtain a place in a Master's programme. This procedure has given rise to some uncertainty
and criticism. 3300 students were able to use this procedure at the start of the 2017 academic year, of whom 735 found a place.
