High school diploma equivalent

Legally speaking, the baccalaureate remains the first level of higher education.
However, failing the baccalaureate does not prevent students from pursuing higher education, particularly at a university.

There are two options equivalent to a high school diploma that will allow you to pursue a college degree:

• The Capacité en droit (a two-year general legal education program) to enter the first year of a bachelor’s degree in law, a DUT in legal careers, or a BTS in notarial studies. The Capacity in Law also allows you to take civil service exams.

• The Diploma of Access to Higher Education The Science track (DAEU-B) puts you back on the path to higher education and allows you to:
  1. to earn a state diploma equivalent to the Scientific Baccalaureate
  2. to go on to pursue higher education, particularly in science, technology, or health-related fields: Bachelor’s degree, BUT, BTS…
  3. to take Level 4 exams
