Requirements

Bachelor's (Licence)

A secondary diploma equivalent to the French baccalaureat. First-year non-EU applicants use the DAP procedure; an interview and language test may be required depending on the programme.

Master's

A bachelor's degree or equivalent. Applicants from Etudes en France countries apply through that platform; a Bangladeshi applicant (outside that list) applies through eCandidat. Some programmes ask for a TCF French-test result.

Documents

Academic transcripts, diplomas, passport copy, motivation letter, academic references and, where asked for, a French test (TCF) result, submitted through the university's PJ WEB digital document server; the university states that an incomplete file cannot be processed.

How to apply

  1. Contact the specific programme (via the course catalogue or its listed contact) to confirm admissions criteria before applying.
  2. Bachelor's (first year): submit the DAP file through Campus France.
  3. Master's: apply through Etudes en France if from a covered country, or through eCandidat if not, which covers Bangladesh.
  4. A committee reviews academic background, the cover letter and references; an interview or language test may follow.
  5. Once accepted, register (generally July to September) and complete pedagogical registration in the programme (generally September to December); pay the CVEC before registration.

English test waiver

Universite Paris Cite teaches most degrees in French; the university's own admissions page for independent international students describes a French test (TCF) requirement in some cases and does not publish an institution-wide IELTS or TOEFL minimum. It runs a small number of English-taught programmes, such as an undergraduate degree in Frontiers of Life Sciences, each with its own language requirement.
