A bachelor’s degree at this level is an undergraduate programme, so it is the right choice if you want to build first-degree study in economics and policy before moving into work or further study. The degree can suit applicants who want a broad academic base rather than a more specialized master’s route.

All eight options are public, so the main differences for a decision come from location and the way each programme is organized rather than ownership. The mix includes universities in Avignon, Corsica, Paris, Strasbourg, Besançon, and Paris-based specialist institutions, so you are choosing between smaller cities and major urban settings. Fees are not published in the facts, so you should confirm the cost directly with each university.

Before applying, verify the tuition fee, the admission requirements, the language of instruction, and the application deadline for each bachelor’s programme. Also confirm whether the course structure is a general economics degree or a policy-focused track, because that can change the type of career path it supports.
