Students can access the L3 year of the Physics & Chemistry training programme two different ways:
- Competitive entrance exam: by taking the entrance examination (first and second exams) for ENS Lyon.
- Application : students having validated the L2 year of a licence degree at a French university (or equivalent level at a foreign university) and students from preparatory programmes can submit an application dossier. There is no interview included in the application procedure. The applicant's dossier is assessed by the selection committee that meets once a year at the beginning of July.
Both admission paths are possible in parallel, there is no need to censor oneself. All applications are studied without prejudice in order to make the training open to everyone.
There are two entrance exams for ENS Lyon: the "first examination" is for CPGE students, while the "second examination" is for students from the first university cycle. Visit the entrance exam website.
