core documents you’ll need to apply for a bachelor’s (Licence) at Université Lumière Lyon?2:

High school diploma and transcripts
You must hold a recognized secondary?school qualification equivalent to the French baccalauréat. Submit certified copies of your diploma and transcripts—with translations if needed—for evaluation.

French language proficiency certificate
Since most courses are taught in French, you’ll typically need at least a B2 level in DELF/DALF or TCF. This ensures you can follow lectures and engage in coursework.

Online application form via Parcoursup or eCandidat / Études en France
EU/EEA students apply through Parcoursup, while non?EU applicants use Études en France or university’s eCandidat portal to submit their full application

Motivation letter and resume/CV
Your application should include a personal statement explaining your educational objectives and career goals, plus a CV highlighting academic, extracurricular, or professional experiences. 

Letters of recommendation (if required by the specific program)
Some streams may ask for one or two references, typically academic or professional, to endorse your readiness and potential fit.

Proof of identity and residence status
Submit a copy of your valid passport or national ID. Non-EU applicants may also need to provide documentation of your visa status or permit, and proven eligibility for enrollment.
