There are several ways to join Efrei without going through Parcoursup: Digital Experts Programs, competitive examination admissions, and transfers. Here's how.
Can I apply to Efrei outside of Parcoursup?
Yes. Several ways allow you to join Efrei without going through Parcoursup: the Digital Experts Programs (Bachelors, Master's) via direct application on efrei.fr, parallel admissions for post-bac+1 levels, and admission examinations depending on the program.
Route 1: Digital Experts Programs
Efrei's Digital Experts Bachelors (post-bac, 3 years) and Master's (post-bac+3 or bac+4) programs are accessible directly via efrei.fr, without going through Parcoursup, provided that you already hold the baccalauréat.
Steps:
- Create your applicant file on efrei.fr
- Upload your documents (transcripts, CV, cover letter, ID, etc.)
- If the initial review of your file declares you eligible, take a motivation interview (video call)
- Receive the response within 10 days
Route 2: Parallel admissions (post-bac+1, +2, +3)
If you have already started higher education, you can apply to Efrei through parallel admission:
- P1 / P2 with the Puissance Alpha Rebond Examination
- ING1 / ING2 of the engineering cycle on efrei.fr
⚠️ Direct entry into ING3 is not possible: at least 3 semesters must be completed at Efrei.
Route 3: International admissions
- EEF procedure (Études en France): for candidates residing in a country that participates in the procedure
- Euro Graduation Access Examination (EG@): for international candidates targeting the engineering cycle
- MyEfrei application: for candidates outside EEF
