Bachelor Admissions
Join our excellence programs focused on professionalization and innovative specializations.
Prerequisites to apply
Our Bachelor's program is open to first-year high school students (who must have a French baccalaureate before the start of the academic year) or to students who have already completed a two-year course of higher education. It is also open to foreign students with the same prerequisites in their country of origin. There are no compulsory "specialties" to apply for, as the teaching of psychology mixes hard sciences (statistics, biology) with the necessary quality of written expression found in literary subjects.
Parallel admissions are possible for 2nd and 3rd year students, provided they can prove they have a baccalauréat and a licence 1 or 2 in psychology from a university (depending on the year of admission) before entering the school (Bachelor of Science 1 or 2 for foreign universities).
Steps in the admissions process
Applications are made outside ParcourSup on the ESPÉ's dedicated platform.
For admission to the 1st year, an initial selection is made on the basis of a letter of motivation explaining your application, grades from the second to the final year of secondary school, and teachers' comments.
For parallel admission in 2nd or 3rd year, an initial selection is made on the basis of a letter explaining your application, a CV and grades from your baccalauréat and bachelor's degree in psychology (first semester of L1 for admission to the ESPÉ in 2nd year, grades from L1 and first semester of L2 for admission to the ESPÉ in 3rd year).
Candidates admitted to the oral examination will be interviewed by a panel including at least one psychologist.
For entry in September 2025, the jury will meet once a month from January onwards.
Candidate selection criteria
The jury analyzes the applications by combining the objective academic aspects (grades), the written expression and reasoning skills demonstrated in the written submissions, and the human skills demonstrated during the interview.
The academic dimension is necessarily taken into account to ensure that the candidate will be able to successfully validate his or her courses. But the human dimension is essential, because we need to assess whether the candidate can cope with studying psychology (which is not like any other study) and then make a good mental health professional.
