Changing to a different course of study

If you would like to switch to a BUT programme, you must apply on the RéoSup platform. From mid-October onwards, you’ll be able to check the availability of places on the courses. Once you have submitted your application, the University of Lille will issue a response as soon as possible, so that you can start your course as soon as possible.

Key dates: October to December

The course change at the end of S1 and S3 concerns you if you are currently enrolled in your first or second year at a French higher education institution in France.

Please note that you are not automatically entitled to change course. We recommend that you don’t quit the course in which you are currently enrolled. In addition, not all courses accept transferring students.

So please don’t hesitate to contact the University course guidance and information service (service universitaire d’accompagnement d'information et d’orientation; SUAIO). In order to provide you with the best possible support, we are organising the following events during this period:

• Information meetings to present the application procedure and available courses;
• Brainstorming workshops for preparing and helping with applications.

If, at the end of your course, you wish to start a new course from first year (licence1, BUT1, BTS1, etc.) in the following year, you must reapply through Parcoursup.

To consolidate your plans, we invite you to attend student fairs and open days to meet our teaching staff and find out more about studying here.

The university course guidance and information service (service universitaire d’accompagnement et d’information pour l’orientation; SUAIO) organises a series of events from February to March:

• Information meetings to present the application procedure and answer questions;

• Set office hours to help you make your choices and assist you with any technical difficulties you may encounter.

Key dates: February to March

If you have completed your first year (or are thinking of completing your year), you can switch to a different course at the University of Lille in 2nd year.

Each course has its own application timetable, and most open between March and April for varying periods of time. You should therefore regularly check the ‘available courses’ tab of the Ecandidat application to see if the course you’re interested in is listed and find out the application period, whether the course you’re interested in is selective or not.

The university course guidance and information service (service universitaire d’accompagnement et d’information pour l’orientation;SUAIO)can advise and support you as you think about your new study plans. Teaching staff also take into account previous experience, which they compare against the prerequisites for the course you’re interested in. The greater the coherence between the two, the more likely the student is to be accepted on to the course.

Key dates: March and April
