Overview
- Candidates can now register and submit up to ten choices among roughly 25,000 programs from January 19 to March 12.
- Applicants have until April 1 to complete and confirm dossiers, with first admission offers starting June 2 and a complementary phase running June 11 to September 10.
- New for 2026, formation pages show profiles of previously admitted students and broader success and employment outcomes across more program types, with a simulator to estimate admission chances; universities also introduce a licence preparing for primary‑school teaching.
- Public guidance options include detailed formation fiches, student ambassadors, CIO counselors and PsyEN, plus student fairs and open days, with AI recommended only for preliminary research that is verified.
- Coverage highlights significant stress around choices as a growing private coaching market seeks to guide applications, raising concerns about widening inequalities in access to information.
