No particular procedures are required for applications to these kinds of programs and students can begin their admission process directly. To get started, browse the Short Programs catalog to find the short course for you!

!! A level of at least B2 French is required to pursue medical studies in France. !!

Medical students wishing to take up or continue studies in medicine in France have two ways of accessing this program: the PASS (Parcours d'accès spécifique santé) or the LAS (Licence "accès santé").

The PASS is a one-year course for those who have decided to pursue studies in medicine and its affiliated fields. Two semesters are completed by students who will choose one medical major and a non-health related minor (e.g. economy, history, etc.)., after which a rigorous selection based on academic performance will determine a candidate's entry into the second year of MPOM (Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, & Obstetrics).

The LAS, on the other hand, is an option for students who are considering pursuing medicine but are uncertain. The LAS allows the taking of a minor in a medical field and a major in a different area of study. Students under the LAS could complete their 10 ECTS units in their health minor in order to qualify for selection into MPOM. This application can be done at any moment during the 3 years of the licence so long as the 10 health units have been achieved.

For more information on the PASS and the LAS, consult this article on the website of the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research.

Foreign doctors and pharmacists from outside the European Union can enroll in a DFMS (Diplôme de formation médicale spécialisée) or DFMSA (Diplôme de formation médicale spécialisée approfondie) if they either have a diploma authorizing them to practice medicine in their country of origin or if they are currently undergoing specialized training. Courses are chosen from those of the Diplôme d’Études Spécialisées (DES) or the Diplôme d’Études Spécialisées Complémentaires (DESC), depending on the desired specialized training.

The duration of training for the DFMS or DFMSA cannot be less than one semester nor exceed two semesters. The DFMS and DFMSA do not grant authorization to practice medicine in France.

For more information, consult the official bulletin here (only available in French).

Applying for a program in a private school is done independently by the student. The admissions department of the establishment must be contacted directly to find out the necessary requirements and procedures for international students.

Universities in France offer the licence at the undergraduate level. Admission into the first year of the licence, or the L1 (with the 3rd and last year of the undergrad program called the L3) is done by submission of a dossier blanc or "white file". One of the requirements of the dossier blanc is at least B2 level proficiency in French as undergraduate courses outside of exchange semesters are taught either entirely or partially in French.

The dossier blanc must be submitted to the French Embassy's cultural department between October and mid-December prior to the academic year, with confirmed admissions being communicated at around May.

For more information on the dossier blanc, visit this article.

Applications for university-offered master's degrees are to be done on Mon Master. The entiretly of the admission procedure can be done on the platform: selection of schools, compiling of requirements, follow-up on application status, etc.

As of August 2023, the Mon Master site is only available in French.

Check with your school's international relations or mobility department to find out what exchange programs are available for your study level and course! Exchange programs under existing agreements are facilitated by the Filipino school and partner institutions in France, with units taken abroad systematically taken into account by the host school in the Philippines.

If you wish to explore options beyond those available at your Filipino HEI, start by browsing our undergraduate catalog and Taught in English search engine to see which programs could work best for your degree. Ask your school's exchange program department for assistance in reaching out to your chosen school in France and making sure your European units will be taken into account!

The doctorate program in France is unique in that aspiring Ph.D. holders must seek out a thesis topic and a corresponding thesis supervisor with whom they will discuss their induction into an existing research team. Only then could they begin their research toward the compiling of a doctorate thesis.
