ONCAMPUS, part of Cambridge Education Group, partners with some of the world’s premier universities. ONCAMPUS centres are to be found on university campuses across Europe and the UK. The partnership aims to prepare students for university-level study by taking them through pre-university programmes leading to entry into undergraduate and master's degrees at top universities across the UK and mainland Europe.
ONCAMPUS Paris is located in the stunning Lumière Building, a vibrant business hub in one of the city’s largest business centres, in the heart of the city. Students can study the International Foundation Programme which includes English, French for Beginners, and three academic subject modules for students on the business pathway, or Contextual studies and Art Practice and Creative Design for students on the Art & Design pathway. Students can also study an International Year One in Business with progression to Year 2 of KEDGE Bachelor at KEDGE Business School, or the International Pre-Master’s Programme for students wishing to progress to master’s degrees at KEDGE Business School.
At ONCAMPUS, students will be assigned a personal tutor, who will offer academic support as and when needed. There are also regular tutorial sessions offered to cover material such as academic referencing, preparing for progression to university life, and adjusting to life in France.
The ONCAMPUS Paris building is spread over two floors. The building has two wings linked by a central atrium that houses 12 ‘brain bubbles’ and an amphitheatre of 80 seats. There is easy access to Bercy Village and the BNF – the National Library of France – with numerous restaurants and sports facilities around nearby. There are also a host of exciting companies, such as AXA, Carrefour, Peugeot Citroën, Total and more, where students can secure internships while completing their course of study.
The entire purpose of choosing a programme at ONCAMPUS Paris is to move onto another higher education programme with a partner institution. ONCAMPUS as a group has an excellent record for preparing students for their next steps, through comprehensive support and training.
This includes not just the academic work that students complete, but also dedicated training sessions on the university application process. Working with their personal tutors, students will learn key skills related to writing their applications, interviewing for a place and more, while also undertaking assignments that are designed to mirror those in further study when they do reach the university stage of their education.
Depending on their chosen programme with ONCAMPUS Paris, students will either move into the first year of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree, or straight into the second year of an undergraduate degree. Whatever their learning journey, students are equipped with all the tools they need to seamless integrate with other students prepare for success.

While students are learning at the KEDGE Business School, that doesn’t mean they are eligible for any scholarship opportunities at the university when enrolled on one of the International programmes.
However, students may then be eligible for financial support once they’ve completed their course with ONCAMPUS and move onto their undergraduate or postgraduate degree. This would be something students would need to check directly with the institution they were applying to.
Students who want to learn through a pathway programme with ONCAMPUS will be required to provide proof of funding as part of their application.
The entry requirements for study at ONCAMPUS Paris will depend on a student’s chosen level of study. Despite being based in Paris, all courses are taught in English and so a base level of English language understanding is required. As programmes contain language learning components, the proficiency requirement is lower than for students moving directly onto a degree.
Students who wish to apply for an International Foundation Programme, where upon completion they would move onto an undergraduate degree, must have a minimum IELTS score of 4.5 or equivalent as well as meeting the education requirements for their individual country (available on the ONCAMPUS website).
For an International Year One programme, where students would be eligible to then progress onto the second year of an undergraduate degree, students must have competed 11-12 years of school with good grades, and have an IELTS score of 5.0 or equivalent.
That’s the same IELTS score as is needed for an International Pre-Master’s Programme, although those also require completion of a bachelor’s degree at undergraduate level.
Students at ONCAMPUS Paris will benefit from high-quality teaching and support, tailored to their needs as international students. The purpose of ONCAMPUS courses are to help those international students who need a little more support to be degree-ready, ensuring that courses are pitched at the right level to be challenging but achievable.
This is maintained through a focus on small class sizes, allowing for tutors to get to know students on an individual level and help to tailor their approach to learning to the needs of each person. While core course content will never change, the way in which it is taught can be applied flexibly to best fit the students in each cohort.
Teaching quality is enhanced through the contemporary facilities offered at the KEDGE Business School. Students learn in a vibrant and comfortable environment using modern learning spaces and equipment, enhancing the overall quality of their education as they progress to completing their studies and moving into their next stage.
ONCAMPUS Paris partners with several leading institutes in France and also further afield, giving students a great breadth of choice on where they want to continue their studies.
This includes:
While those are the partners, at ONCAMPUS Paris students will have the choice of a selection of study programmes to best fit their needs and goals, including those with more intensive English language training where necessary.
