Choosing your field of study is a delicate process. Once you've made your decision, the next step is to find the right university or degree program that best suits you. There are a few principles to follow when making your decision and choosing the program that best suits your needs.
The license
Three years after the baccalaureate, the bachelor's degree is prepared at university. It covers many disciplines and there is no shortage of choice. It is possible to enroll in the general bachelor's degree or the professional bachelor's degree. The general bachelor's degree is designed to prepare for the master's and doctorate levels. It also helps prepare for recruitment exams, for example in administration. As for the professional bachelor's degree, it prepares you for immediate entry into the job market. You are then trained in a specific sector of activity. Even after a year of the general bachelor's degree, you can change direction and move on to the professional bachelor's degree. Other possibilities for change exist, such as transferring to an engineering school or a business school. Within each field, a multitude of possibilities exist. Possible choices include Law, Science and Technology/Health, Arts, Literature and Foreign Languages, as well as Economics and Management. A good way to choose your field is to consult the catalog of bachelor's degrees available online on the Campus France website.
Follow your tastes
The easiest way to make your choice is to consider your own personality. You will then be more motivated and more likely to succeed. It is therefore better to make your selection based more on your tastes than on job prospects, even if this aspect is also worth considering. Indeed, as soon as you choose a field, you must consider the possible opportunities and think about the type of master's degree to pursue. It would be a good idea to check the likely placement rate in the profession that interests you. A bachelor's degree represents a different type of training and requires more autonomy. If you feel ready to exercise this autonomy in a more meaningful way, you may choose a bachelor's degree far from your place of residence to lead a completely independent life. If, on the other hand, you do not want to move away from your surroundings right away, there is no obligation for you to do so. There will always be time to leave once you have completed your master's degree.
Choosing your university
Once you've decided on your degree, you need to choose the university that offers you the best chance of success, taking your priorities into account. You should take the time to evaluate universities, as you'll be spending crucial years there for your future. The location of the university can have an impact on the quality of life you'll enjoy during your studies. One way to learn more about the university you're interested in and get a good idea of the atmosphere is to attend the university's open days. This is often an opportunity to confirm that you've made the right choice.
