Please note that the deadline for registering with Campus France is set by each embassy. Consult the Campus France website in your country of residence for the application timetable.

If your application is pre-selected, you will receive a message on Campus France explaining how to proceed to the second admission phase.

 

• For all other candidates:

You must submit your application via eCandidat: for each diploma, the submission dates are indicated directly in the application. Important: your eCandidat account must not be created before January 2025.

You will be asked to provide the following documents:

► A cover letter and curriculum vitae (CV) written in French,

► A certificate of French language level, if you are not from a French-speaking country (minimum French level required: TCF B2, DELF B2, or DUEF B2)

► Photocopy of all university diplomas and high school diploma*

► Photocopies of transcripts of these diplomas*

► An official syllabus of courses taken at university specifying the number of hours*

► Photocopy of your identity card or passport

*These documents must be translated into French by a sworn translator.


Applications will be forwarded to the admissions committees, and you will be notified by the end of June 2025. If your application is accepted, you will receive an e-mail containing a code that will enable you to register administratively online, (in French), and then follow the various stages of registration.

For applicants who are not nationals of a member state of the European Economic Area, a refusal of admission to a Master's, 2nd or 3rd year Bachelor's degree does not automatically give access to registration for a 1st year Bachelor's degree. This will only be possible if the application for admission to the 1st year of the Licence program has been submitted and accepted.
