Parallel admissions (entry into Year 3 or Year 4)
Already holding a Bac+2 or Bac+3 qualification? Parallel admission into the Master in Management may be the right option for you. EDC Paris Business School welcomes students who wish to join the programme mid-way through the curriculum, building on their prior academic and professional experience.
Eligibility criteria:
Entry into Year 3: open to applicants with a Bac+2 qualification (BTS, BUT, two years of preparatory classes, L2 or equivalent);
Entry into Year 4: open to applicants with a Bac+3 qualification (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent), subject to validated ECTS credits.
The application file is a central element of the selection process. It must demonstrate the coherence and strength of the candidate’s academic and professional project. It generally includes:
academic transcripts from higher education studies;
an up-to-date CV highlighting academic, professional, and extracurricular experience;
a motivation letter clearly outlining the career project and reasons for choosing EDC Paris Business School;
where applicable, an English language score (such as TOEIC or equivalent) confirming language proficiency.
The final stage is the interview, which typically takes the form of a personal pitch followed by a discussion with the panel about the candidate’s motivations, career objectives, and overall vision. Depending on the profile and programme, part of the interview may be conducted in English.
Timeline and practical advice
A successful application is prepared well in advance. A clear timeline is often what distinguishes a strong, well-prepared application from an incomplete or rushed one.
Key stages to anticipate:
application opening: early in the calendar year for Parcoursup; for parallel admissions, according to the specific schedule of EDC Paris Business School — check the official website regularly;
application preparation: do not leave your CV or motivation letter until the last minute; consistency between your application and your project is carefully assessed;
written tests and interviews: schedule time for mock interviews and preparation for written exams;
results and enrolment: anticipate administrative steps to confirm your place within the required deadlines.
Key tips to maximise your chances:
apply early: early sessions are often more accessible and demonstrate strong motivation;
ensure consistency: your application, motivation letter, and interview must tell the same coherent story;
improve your English: even if you are not aiming for the full English track, language proficiency is a strong advantage during interviews;
keep a backup plan: if one intake does not match your schedule, consider the February intake offered by EDC Paris Business School.
Whatever your entry route — post-baccalaureate, Year 3, or Year 4 admission — EDC Paris Business School offers personalised support to help you confirm your eligibility and build a strong application strategy.
Do not remain alone with your questions: book an appointment with the admissions team and give your application every chance of success.
