Apply directly to French Higher Education Institutions (PreConsular campaign)

Many French Higher Education (HEI) are not available on EeF and offer direct admissions. You can apply to the best of them investigating international rankings.

Before applying to a French institution, please check carefully the requirement of the HEC Pakistan for the recognition of foreign degrees : https://www.hec.gov.pk/english/services/students/DES/Pages/Procedure/Foreign-HEIs.aspx. As HEC recognizes only higher education of foreign chartered universities available on the UNESCO World Higher Education Database, we strongly encourage you to verify if the institution you want to apply to is listed in this database WHED (World Higher Education Database). Campus France Pakistan cannot be held responsible in case of later refund or recognition problems.

Have you received an admission from a French HEI with a final Letter of Acceptance? Congratulations!

Only when you have received your final Letter of Acceptance, follow all the application steps. For a smoother process, be sure to follow strictly the steps as explained.
