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 the university level.

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

• The Capacité en droit (a two-year general legal 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 for Admission 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
