What are the advantages of non-Parcoursup courses?

There are several advantages to studying outside Parcoursup. Firstly, you have more choice than on Parcoursup in terms of programmes and specialisations. These are offered by universities, specialist schools and institutes. There are also partnerships and collaborations that open doors to international exchange opportunities.

What’s more, schools outside the Parcoursup system offer more personalised admissions. They select students according to more precise criteria and take better account of each profile. Applicants go through a competitive examination or are selected on the basis of their applications. This system helps you to get into a course that suits you.

Non-Parcoursup courses often have smaller numbers of students. As a result, students benefit from more personalised supervision. This encourages academic success.
