The foreign equivalents of the French Baccalauréat général are recruited through a competitive entrance examination (Dossier + Interview) common to 3 schools in the Polytech network: Marseille, Paris-Saclay, and Orléans.

  • Terms and conditions

    If you're in a French lycée abroad or an AEFE-accredited lycée(check) preparing for a French Baccalauréat (or if you obtained your high school diploma last year), you can apply via the Geipi-Polytech competitive entrance exam, see the dedicated page(Bac Général or Bac STI2D).
    The concours sur titres is only open to students in their final year of science studies at a non-AFE-accredited lycée, or who are not preparing for the French Baccalauréat. If you have obtained an equivalence to a French Scientific Baccalaureate, the application procedure differs according to your country of residence:

    • If you are in a country with an "Etudes en France" procedure(check), you must apply via your country's Campus France website. You will then receive an e-mail inviting you to finalize your application on the Polytech network admissions website. You won't need to send in a paper application; we'll use the information on your Etudes en France form.
    • In some cases: you will need to compile an application file, which can be downloaded from the Polytech admissions website.

    Important : Consult the Polytech network's "Guide du candidat des admissions", which details application procedures, including the application timetable. (Page 12)

    The application fee is €60.
