PASS or L.AS: how to tailor your Parcoursup statement to each choice

To apply to health studies through Parcoursup you have two routes. According to Parcoursup, each offers two chances to apply to health studies during the first cycle. Your project statement should reflect which one you are requesting.

The two routes in brief

	PASS	Licence with "health access" (L.AS)
Principle	A dedicated year with health courses, non-health subject courses (your option), English, modules introducing health professions and preparation for the selection tests	A bachelor's in another subject (law, biology, psychology...) with extra courses linked to health access
What you pick on Parcoursup	The PASS, with an option matching your strengths	The degree that matches your plans, among those offering "health access"

Tailoring the text to the PASS

• Talk about your taste for a life-science-centred path and your work rhythm.
• Explain why you chose your option and how it serves your plan.
• Show you have a strategy if health does not work out.

Tailoring the text to an L.AS

• Your interest in the degree subject must be genuine, not a pretext: committees can tell.
• Explain what this subject brings to a future health professional (for example law, psychology, social sciences).
• Show you can handle the degree and the extra "health access" load together.

One text for all? No.

The project statement is requested for each choice. A single text, from PASS to L.AS, with no adjustment is easy to spot. The core (your background, your qualities) can be shared; the middle paragraph must be about the targeted programme.

Thinking ahead

Exact terms (number of places, tests, bridges) vary by university. Always check the programme page on Parcoursup, and keep in mind that some applicants also consider studying medicine abroad: our guide on Italy vs France (in French) helps you compare.
