Applying for the first time in first year
If you are a foreigner (outside of the European Economic Area) and that you want to apply for the first time in first year of higher education, you need to follow a specific application process called DAP (Demande d’Admission Préalable).
You will need to fill in an application form, attach to it some justification documents and take a language exam, the TCF. Following your preference order, your application will be processed by the 3 universities of your choice. You will receive an answer directly from the universities.
The opening of the DAP application process usually happens mid-November each year. The applications have to be sent to the French Embassy to Tanzania before a specific deadline, usually fixed at the beginning of January.
As soon as the 2017 application period starts, you can ask for your DAP application file at this address: scac.dar-es-salam@diplomatie.gouv.fr or download it from the Campus France website.
