How admission works in France
Applications go through Parcoursup. Non-selective bachelor's degrees (licence) admit everyone while places last, then by ranking; selective programmes (BUT, schools, health tracks) assess the application file. There is no cutoff score: the card shows the 2025 access rate — the share of applicants who received an offer. Non-EU citizens living abroad usually apply through the 'Études en France' / DAP procedure instead of Parcoursup and need French at B2 level. More in the guide Study in France.
