The route can depend on nationality, country of residence, qualification and study level. Études en France applies to specified countries; first-year undergraduate and doctoral applications can follow different procedures.
Find the current local Campus France calendar, any national platform calendar and the institution’s own deadline. Keep interview, portfolio, language and final-document steps alongside the application deadline.
Use France-Visas to identify the visa and documents for your nationality, study duration and circumstances. Where applicable, complete the local Campus France procedure as well.
Relative planning stages; institution and applicant-specific deadlines must be checked.
Record course, scholarship, test, document, deposit and visa dates separately. No individual 2027 intake deadline is confirmed by this overview.
These are research links, not a statement that every institution accepts or requires each exam. Check the exact programme, intake, test version, minimum component scores and visa rules.
