What is Parcoursup?

Parcoursup is the official platform of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, set up in 2018 to replace the old APB system. It allows secondary school pupils, holders of the baccalaureate and transfer students to make up to 10 wishes for higher education courses (universities, preparatory classes, post-baccalaureate schools, BTS, Bachelors, etc.), with the possibility of multiple sub-wishes (up to 20 in total), without ranking them in order of preference.
The main phase and the complementary phase

The main phase generally takes place between January and July, during which applicants can :

  • make their wishes and sub-wishes ;
  • follow the progress of the institutions' replies (yes, yes if, waiting, no);
  • accept a single positive offer.

In 2025, the complementary phase will run from 11 June to 9 September, allowing applicants who have not received an offer or who wish to change their offer to make up to 10 new applications for courses that are still available, including ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ Bachelors such as the Bachelor in Luxury Management.
