Full degree mobility FAQ

If your home university hasn't signed a partnership agreement allowing you to spend a semester at our university, you can’t enrol as an exchange student. You won't be able to enrol as a full degree student for one semester either, as individual admissions are valid for a whole academic year, from September to June. 

There is no legal principle of equivalence between foreign qualifications and French qualifications. The only document that can be issued is a “certificate of equivalence” delivered by the public agency ENIC-NARIC. This document is compulsory if you are applying via Mon master or eCandidat. There is a fee for this procedure, which takes three months. If you are applying via Études en France, this does not apply to you. If you do not know how to translate your diploma into the French system, please contact us.

No, the only French classes available are offered during the academic year by Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne’s department of languages, to students who are already enrolled in an academic department. 

If you are applying for the 2^nd or 3^rd year of a bachelor’s degree or for the 2^nd year of a master's degree and if you cannot find the degree on the Études en France platform, you can apply via the eCandidat university application platform.

Unfortunately, no. If the Études en France procedure applies to you and you miss the deadline, your application cannot be accepted under any other procedure.

Some law courses are available online (see the IED-EDS website for more information). If you study online, you cannot apply for a student visa. Nor can you apply for one if you are a “capacité” law student, even if you study on-site in Paris.

A recent change in legislation has made this possible. Student visas now allow students to enrol in these courses, even during their first year in France. You can find more information on this page. 

You can find all programmes taught in English on this webpage. Make sure you meet all the requirements to apply.
