The application procedure varies depending on nationality, country of residence, secondary school diploma and desired level of study. There are mainly three procedures: "Études en France" (mandatory for students residing in one of the 69 non-EU countries), Parcoursup (for the first year, particularly for European or non-European students with a French AEFE baccalaureate or wishing to enter institutions not covered by the DAP), and the Preliminary Admission Application (DAP) (mandatory for non-European foreign students wishing to enroll in the first year of a Bachelor's degree or in an architecture school and who have not obtained a baccalaureate in a French AEFE high school). The general steps include finding out about the procedure applicable to your situation on the Campus France website, respecting the specific schedules for each procedure (Parcoursup: registrations from mid-January to mid-March, DAP: registrations from October to mid-December, Mon Master: applications from the end of February to the end of March), compiling an online application file on the dedicated platforms (Etudes en France, Parcoursup, Mon Master, CampusArt), and finalizing your registration with the host institution after acceptance, including the administrative and academic aspects and the payment of registration fees.
