UCO Nantes Open Day: Explore Programs & Future Studies – March 7th

by Emma Walker – News Editor

The UCO Nantes-Rezé campus will host an open house on Saturday, March 7th, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM. The event is designed to allow prospective students and their families to visit the campus, meet with faculty and current students, and learn more about the university’s programs before finalizing their applications through Parcoursup.

The open house provides an opportunity for students to ask questions and gain a better understanding of the academic environment at UCO Nantes-Rezé, according to an announcement from the university. UCO Nantes operates under the umbrella of the “Faculté libre de l’Ouest” within the Parcoursup platform, specifically for first-year license programs, according to information on the UCO Nantes website.

The university offers a Licence (Bachelor’s degree) in Information and Communication, a program recognized by the state through agreements with the University of Rennes. A double degree program in Law and Political Science is also available. The Law/Political Science program currently has 70 places available for the 2026 academic year, while the Information and Communication program has 115 places.

UCO Nantes is a private institution operating under contract with the state and classified as an “Enseignement supérieur privé d’intérêt général” (private higher education of general interest). Students enrolled in UCO Nantes programs are eligible for state scholarships. Students will be required to pay the Contribution Vie Etudiante et de Campus (CVEC) before administrative registration, a fee common to many institutions listed on Parcoursup.

The Parcoursup platform is currently the primary method for applying to the first year of a Licence program at UCO Nantes. Students applying for the second or third year of a Licence program must be of French nationality, according to the university.

The university’s website details the key dates and stages of the Parcoursup application process for the 2026 academic year, advising prospective students to carefully review the timeline to ensure they do not miss important deadlines.
