Check the minimum admission requirements

If you are currently in the classe terminale and you meet the following conditions, we can consider your application for undergraduate studies. You must:

Have received or be in the process of receiving your baccalaureate
Have passed the prerequisites for the program of study (minimum of 10/20 required). Unless otherwise indicated, you must complete all prerequisites in the classe terminale
Have a minimum average of 13/20 and have passed five subjects (including the prerequisites) in the classe terminale (requirements may be higher depending on the program of study you choose).

Space is limited and admission is not guaranteed. We reserve the right to reject applicants even if they meet all admission requirements.

If you are currently studying in a French lycée or studying another recognized curriculum such as the International Baccalaureate, GCE curriculum or an American-patterned curriculum, see our information specific to your situation.
