2ème point d'étape des inscriptions en première année de licence

All audiences

The procedure for pre-enrolment in the first year of an undergraduate degree (DAP) in French public higher education for international students from 42 countries subject to the “Études en France” (Studies in France) platform, managed by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, is officially closed. After a first progress report on 5 February, today Campus France has published the consolidated figures for the end of the campaign.

2019, launch of the Bienvenue en France (Choose France) strategy

The year 2019 was marked by the introduction of the strategy designed to attract students, Bienvenue en France (Choose France), the goal of which is to turn France into the main host country for international students in Europe, with a target figure of 500,000 international students welcomed by 2027. To do this, strong commitments have been made to create a favourable framework for receiving non-EU students by multiplying services made available to them (visas, accommodation, reception, etc.), all the while introducing differentiated tuition fees and a wider scholarship system.

Enrolment virtually stable

Compared to figures of the 2018 and 2019 campaigns, the number of candidates who have applied is virtually stable (-2.4%).

A total of 30,768 applications have been submitted this year; in 2018, there were 31,532.

After candidates submit their applications, they will be selected by the institutions in question (as a reminder, only 8,3798 candidates were accepted into the first year of an undergraduate degree in 2018). The number of students accepted and enrolled in the institutions will be known at a later date.
