What is Parcoursup and does it apply to me?

Parcoursup is the national online platform for applying to most first-year undergraduate programmes in France.

You will probably use Parcoursup if:

• you are an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen applying for a first-year programme;
• you are a non-EU citizen who holds, or is preparing, a French or European baccalauréat (for example at a French lycée abroad). If you live in an Études en France country, you will also need to complete the Études en France procedure to get your visa.

If you are a non-EU student with a foreign secondary-school diploma and you want to enter the first year of a bachelor's degree at a public university, you use the DAP instead. For other first-year programmes, check the programme's page or your Campus France office.

Parcoursup calendar for the 2027 intake: the site opens for browsing in December 2026, you register and list your choices from January to March 2027, confirm them in April 2027, and admission offers start in June 2027.
