Admission requirements

French Baccalauréat applicants will be considered for admission on their ‘bulletins’ out of 20 for Première and Terminale or, if already completed, on their final baccalaureat général results. For most Dalhousie programs, a course grade of 10 for electives is the minimum required, while higher grades are usually required for pre-requisite courses for more competitive degrees.

A minimum average of 11 is the requirement for some programs, while higher averages are required for competitive degrees.  You also need to meet our general entrance requirements.

The baccalauréat technologique may be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis, while the baccalauréat professional and classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles (CPGE) are not accepted.
