Apply and register

Applying for the first year of a bachelor’s degree

French or European Students

If you are a French or European student, you must use the Parcoursup platform to apply to a higher education institution in France.

Please note that the dates for entering your application and validating your choices must be respected, otherwise your application will be rejected.

 

High school or university students looking for a change of direction (including apprentices) who wish to enrol in the first year of higher education must put together an application and make their wishes known on Parcoursup.

This does not apply to:

• Students repeating their first year (they must re-apply directly to their institution)
• International applicants subject to a request for prior admission (DAP)
• Applicants who only wish to apply to foreign higher education courses (they must apply directly to the courses they are interested in)
• Students who wish to return to the course in which they were enrolled at the end of their gap year (they have the right to reinstate or re-enrol at the end of their gap year).

For more information, go to the Parcoursup platform.
