Reorienting without Parcoursup: preparing well
Take stock of your desires and motivations
The first step is introspection. You need to identify your interests, skills and values. By asking yourself the right questions, you’ll learn about your natural aptitudes and the areas that interest you.
You should also carry out an objective personal assessment to analyse your strengths and weaknesses. This awareness makes it easier to choose new study or career paths.
Exploring different guidance options
To find the best academic reorientation, you need to carry out an in-depth search of the courses available outside Parcoursup. This includes universities and colleges, as well as vocational training courses and private establishments.
From your list, identify the institutes and programmes that match your objectives. Information on the modules is available on the schools’ websites. You can also attend open days or careers fairs. You should also study the admission requirements and selection criteria.
Putting together a solid application
To apply, you need to put together a solid application. It should highlight your experience, skills and academic or professional achievements. This includes your detailed CV and a personalised covering letter for each application.
Transcripts of marks from previous studies and teachers’ assessments are also crucial elements of the application. They are used to assess your level. If possible, you can include letters of recommendation from your teachers or employers.
Administrative procedures and formalities
Contacting schools and universities directly
Admission to non-Parcoursup programmes is selective. It is essential to find out about the conditions directly from the schools and universities concerned. This is also a way of finding out the application deadlines. You should fill in the application forms quickly. This can be done online or on campus.
Mobilising your networks and asking for help
When changing career direction, it’s essential to use your network. This involves contacting professionals in your target sector. They may be acquaintances, friends or former teachers. These experts have experience in the field and can introduce you to the demands of the job.
You can take part in career forums and fairs. At these events, you can meet representatives from schools, universities and companies. Alumni and mentors can also offer advice based on their own experience.
Staying motivated and persevering
Finding your new voice can take time, so it’s important to remain determined. You need to be patient and keep looking despite the obstacles. To ensure the success of your project, it’s vital to set realistic goals and maintain a positive attitude. This will enable you to measure your progress and adjust your actions.
Reorienting without Parcoursup: alternative solutions
