International Bachelor: a deferred intake in January 2026

Higher Education
3 Nov 2025

For the second year in a row, Icam is offering on its Grand Paris Sud and Nantes campuses — giving a new opportunity to students already enrolled in a post-secondary program who are unsatisfied or looking for a change of direction.
This solution allows them not to lose a full year or wait until the next academic intake, as Ronan and Noa testify. They joined the first deferred intake at the Grand Paris Sud campus in January 2025 and wanted to share their experience with this message: “It is never too late to change direction!”

This initiative is indeed a unique opportunity for these students to join the Bachelor International preparatory program, outside of Parcoursup, which then allows direct entry into the Icam General Engineering program under student or apprentice status, starting in the 4th year.

👉 A pedagogical approach centred on hands-on learning, small class sizes, personalised support… just a few of the many reasons to choose Icam and its International Bachelor.

The intake date is set for 12 January 2026. Applications are now open and will remain so until 11 January 2026!
