Applying to the first year of a training at “Licence” (Bachelor’s) level

The way to enrol in the first year of a training at “Licence” (Bachelor’s) level varies depending on your situation.

If you are living in a country concerned by the “Etudes en France” process…

1)… and have the nationality of the country in which you are living (for instance, if you are living in Kuwait and have the Kuwaiti nationality) or do not have the nationality of the country in which you are living and do not have the nationality of a country from the European Union or Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Andorra or Monaco (for instance, if you are living in Kuwait but have the Lebanese nationality)

• If you are preparing a French or European Baccalauréat you must enter your academic choices on the “Parcoursup” platform that was launched on January 15, 2018 (replacing the APB platform) and follow the steps of the “Etudes en France” process for the visa request.
   
• If you are preparing another degree course (granting access to higher education), you must make a Preliminary Admission Request (DAP) and follow the “Etudes en France” procedure. You can make the DAP online on the “Etudes en France” platform during a period going from November to January of the year preceding the academic year you are requesting.
   

2)… and you have the nationality of a country from the European Union or Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Andorra or Monaco (for instance, if you are living in Kuwait but have the French nationality), you only need to enter your academic choices on the “Parcoursup” platform.
