It confers the same rights as the Baccalaureate.

Any applicant wishing to sit the DAEU exam must complete a program from a university that is authorised to issue this diploma.
In Grenoble, this would be the Université Grenoble Alpes.

There are two available options :
  • literature (DAEU A): gives access to higher education programs in humanities, languages, human and social sciences, etc.
