PLEASE NOTE
An incomplete application will not be considered and may therefore simply be rejected. Your application will then be examined by UCO and a decision will be made on pedagogical grounds. In the event of a favourable decision, your application will then have to be assessed by an external academic recognition board. To that end you will be sent an academic recognition request to be returned by the deadline date specified. The final answer will be given in June or July of the year for which you have applied for entry.
IMPORTANT
For admission into a 1st or 2nd year of a Bachelor’s degree at a French university, you will need to contact the French embassy of your home country to file a preliminary application of admission (in French: Demande d'Admission Préalable or DAP). This is unless you hold a French baccalauréat, a secondary school leaving certificate from another EU or EEA country, in which case this DAP is not necessary.
For all information concerning your visa, please consult the Campus France website.
