Undergraduate (Licence, Bachelor) programs in France

General information: Licence/Bachelor degrees

important reminder

The Philippines is a country that does not require theÉtudes en France - EEF application procedure (also known as the Campus France online application)

Some French HEIs ask applicants to contact the Campus France office in their country to begin the application process. This is not the case for applicants from the Philippines (for both Filipinos and foreigners in the country)

Follow the HEI's application instructions for students coming from outside the EU and who are not part of the countries using the Études en France - EEF (and the Parcoursup) application procedure
