First-cycle programmes in France

5,006 first-cycle programmes at 229 institutions in France that take first-year applicants through Parcoursup, the national admissions platform, each with the type of qualification it leads to and the town it is taught in, as recorded in the government register. The register holds no fees, so none is shown. No institution can pay to appear or to move up.

Read from the map of programmes on Parcoursup, the national admissions platform (Cartographie des formations Parcoursup), published by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (Licence Ouverte 2.0), read on 5 October 2026.

What this list is. The government’s own record of these programmes, under the names the register uses. It does not hold fees, entry requirements or deadlines: each institution publishes those itself, and the fee rules for France are in our guide. A programme appears only where we could tie its institution to a page of ours with certainty, so some institutions are missing.
