- Parcoursup is a national platform that helps new baccalaureate holders to find a course in the first year of higher education.
- Non-Parcoursup courses are generally offered by private institutions.

- Student selection also takes personality into account for non-Parcoursup courses.
What is Parcoursup?
Parcousup is a national platform on which students are pre-registered to make it easier to find the right post-bac course. A search on Parcoursup is based on the student’s profile. To proceed correctly, all you need to do is provide the requested files and meet the various deadlines.
To give students as many options as possible, Parcousup has more than 20,000 courses available from both public and private institutions. Students registered on Parcoursup must be new baccalaureate holders. It is therefore impossible for repeaters or students changing direction to register.
Are there any non-Parcoursup courses?
While going on Parcoursup is common practice for new baccalaureate holders, there are also many more accessible courses available outside Parcoursup. They are most often offered by private and specialist establishments that are not registered on Parcoursup.
This gives the schools more freedom in the way they organise student selection and admissions. This is an advantage for both the schools in question and the students.
What are the advantages of choosing a non-Parcoursup course?
Parcoursup enables a large number of students to find a course after their baccalauréat. However, choosing a course outside Parcoursup also has its advantages:
- it is possible for students repeating a year or changing their course to access a post-bac course;
- The courses are more accessible because the selection process also takes into account the personality and motivation of applicants;
- many public schools offering training outside the Parcoursup system have excellent programmes that make it easier to find a career;
- institutions offering courses outside Parcoursup generally have their own admission procedures:
- By taking a course outside the Parcoursup system, students can avoid the stress of having too many deadlines to meet ;
- the results of the selections generally arrive more quickly for a course outside Parcoursup;
- many non-Parcoursup institutions recruit throughout the year. This enables a certain profile of students not admitted to Parcoursup to access a post-bac course.
