This executive summary presents the main indicators for study paths followed by university students and their level of success: retention rate from first year to second year of the Bachelor's and Master's degrees, appeal of First and Second years of Master's, graduation rates for Bachelor's degrees, Master's degrees and Technological university diplomas delivered by the IUT (Diplôme universitaire de technologie - DUT).
In addition, these indicators are broken down by university. This information, published here for the second year running, will be disseminated every year. Results from the 2013 session should be available in February 2015.

The study path of students in first cycle programmes is marked by course changes and repeat years. In fact, only one in two students moves up directly from first year into the second year of the Bachelor's degree programme (one in four repeats the year and one in four changes course or gives up their higher education studies completely), while of those reaching the third year of the general Bachelor's degree programme, almost seven out of ten students obtain their diploma in just one year (nine out of ten for the vocational degree). For the University technology diploma delivered by the IUT (¦Diplôme universitaire de technologie - ¦DUT), the number of students moving into the second year is high, with seven out of ten students. The pass rate in second year is also high: almost nine students out of ten obtained their diploma at the 2011 session. In Advanced technician’s sections (¦Section de technicien supérieur - ¦STS), 85% of students move into second year. At the 2011 session, the pass rate for the Advanced technician diploma (¦Brevet de technicien supérieur - ¦BTS) was 72%, two points higher than in 2010. These rates vary depending on the type of students and the type of institution in which they are studying. However, overall, if the definition of failure in the first cycle of study is the fact of leaving higher education with no diploma, then the failure rate in France is around 19%, ten points below the OECD average.
Publication annuelle de la direction de l’évaluation, de la prospective et de la performance, RERS présente un vaste ensemble d’indicateurs statistiques. Déclinée en plus de 180 thématiques, cette information constitue une référence pour toute réflexion sur l’évolution du système d’enseignement et de recherche français.
À la rentrée 2011, les instituts catholiques accueillent 26 400 étudiants inscrits dans des formations canoniques ou de type universitaire. Plus de huit étudiants sur dix inscrits dans ces établissements préparent un diplôme de type universitaire, les autres suivant une formation canonique.
27% of students entering university in the first year of a Bachelor's degree programme obtain their degree three years later and 12% of them take one extra year to finalise their degree. The age at which students obtained their baccalauréat, and above all the series of baccalauréat they took, are the factors that most affect their success in their degree course.
The 6th edition of Higher Education and Research, Facts and Figures provides an annual overview, backed up by figures, of the French higher education and research system, with its changes, resources and outcomes. These data are provided by the statistical departments of various Ministries, for example the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Ministry of Education and the Ministries for the Economy and Finance, but also from other organisations such as the Centre for Study and Research in Training and Education Policy, the National Observatory of Student Life, the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, the Science and Technology Observatory, and the OECD.
