You must be under 26 on the day applications open, you must show at least one year of undergraduate study already awarded by a university outside France and at least two years by the time you enrol, and you must not have been registered at a school or higher education institution in France for more than six months in total during the year of the competition or the year before it.

The application asks for a high school diploma, a university transcript, a CV, a one to three page reasoned cover letter in French or English naming the department and discipline you want, and two to four letters of recommendation requested through the platform.
