Opportunities for Higher Education in France

Although the French Baccalaureate remains the traditional pathway, the IB Diploma is gaining increasing recognition among France’s leading universities and grandes écoles, valued for its academic rigour and international perspective.

Students submit their academic transcripts and predicted grades through national platforms such as Parcoursup, following the same procedures as those used by students in the French education system.

Students who have completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme are thoroughly prepared to enter France’s most demanding higher education programmes. They are well positioned to apply for studies in:

  • Preparatory classes for grandes écoles (classes prépas)
  • Public and private universities (Sorbonne, Sciences Po, Aix, etc.)
  • Top business schools (ESSEC, EDHEC, KEDGE, etc.)
  • Engineering schools (EPITA, INSA, etc.)

Renowned for its academic rigour and the strong preparation it provides, the IB enables graduates to apply to the world’s most prestigious universities.

Each year, SVIS IB graduates gain admission to esteemed institutions across Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Australia, and Asia.
