Is the February intake suitable for my shortlisted colleges in France?

It depends. The February (Spring) intake in France is less common and usually limited to select programs at specific institutions, mostly private schools or specialized courses.

Most French universities and Grandes Écoles offer the majority of their programs for the September intake. If you are targeting mainstream or popular colleges, February options may be very limited or unavailable.

As of July 2026, application deadlines for February 2027 intakes have likely passed, since these usually close by September - October of the previous year.

For broader program choices and better alignment with most institutions, the September 2027 intake is recommended.
