More information on the target groups

A simplified approach

The Parcoursup platform allows :

• create your pre-registration file
• find information on the various higher education courses: each time you select a course, its characteristics are displayed, in particular the knowledge and skills expected, the intake capacity, the elements taken into account for the examination of applications
• enter your wishes for further study without ranking them and complete your file with the information requested by the courses you have chosen
• confirm your wishes so that they can be examined by the courses you have chosen
• to receive and respond to admission proposals for courses within the time limits indicated

Information to help you make the right choices

For each course, you will find in Parcoursup :

• the dates of open days or immersion days or weeks organised by the institutions you are interested in
• contacts to exchange with a pedagogical manager, a disability advisor or a student ambassador of the requested training
• a precise description: the organisation of courses, the success paths offered, success rates, job opportunities, intake capacities, information for applicants with disabilities, applicable scholarship rates, etc.
• expectations: the knowledge and skills needed to succeed
• the general criteria for examining applications

This information is essential, as it will enable you to gain a better understanding of the reality of the training courses, to identify the professional opportunities and to assess the relevance of your choice of orientation.
