If you are a foreign nationality (outside Europe) student, you reside either in France or abroad and you hold a foreign diploma equivalent to the French Baccalaureate, you should request a preliminary application form also known as “Demande d’admission préalable (D.A.P.)” depending on your situation.

You must know that the Université Lumière Lyon 2 is a French-speaking University: therefore, the language used for teaching is French for the majority of courses. For this reason, you must prove your proficiency in French: French Language Test.
 
Procedure
Students living in France

You have to follow the Demande d’admission préalable (D.A.P) procedure.
You must download the preliminary application form known as “Dossier vert de D.A.P” from the Ministry's website.

If you are unable to download the application form, you may exceptionally collect it at the following address: 4 bis rue de l'université 69007 LYON, basement of the Enrolment Centre (Centre d’inscriptions). After having completed the application form (D.A.P) , you must bring it to the Enrolments Office (Centre d’inscriptions) before the deadline.

Please note: sending your file by post is not recommended.

Students residing outside of France

If the CampusFrance procedure exists in your country:
You must follow the online admission procedure. The CEF/Campus France procedure for your country can be found online on the CampusFrance website of your country in French: www.yourcountry.campusfrance.org (e.g. if you live in South Korea, you type www.coree.campusfrance.org).

If your country of residence does not have a partnership with Campus France, we advise you to contact the French Embassy directly in order to collect a preliminary application form also known as “Dossier blanc”.
