Campus France – ‘Études en France’ procedure

Are you planning to study in France, at the Faculty of Law of the Université Catholique de Lille? Here’s where to start!

‘Études en France’ procedure – Campus France

The ‘Études en France’ (Studying in France) procedure is the official route to access higher education in France. Students residing in one of the countries concerned by this procedure must submit a specific application to enrol at our Faculty. The ‘Études en France‘ platform is entirely online and manages all administrative steps up to the visa request. Simply create a personal online account and follow the instructions provided.

The different steps

1. If you live in a country covered by the ‘Études en France’ procedure and…

• You are preparing a French or European Baccalauréat / A-levels: you must submit your academic choices via the Parcoursup platform and follow the ‘Études en France’ procedure.
• You are preparing a different qualification granting access to higher education: you must submit a Demande d’Admission Préalable (Preliminary Admission Request) and follow the ‘Études en France’ procedure.

2. Special circumstances

If you hold the nationality of a country within the European Union, or of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Andorra or Monaco (for example, if you live in Senegal but are German national), you only need to submit your academic choices on the Parcoursup platform.
