Previous course not suitable, I wonder what that means and what should I do

Hello, I hold a degree in biology, but due to differences in education levels, I preferred to apply for a second-year biology degree in France. However, I received a rejection, reason: previous course not suitable. I wonder what that means and what I should do, thank you.

Welcome @surpriseflavio

I understand that you applied for a second-year biology degree in France and received a rejection due to the unsuitability of your previous studies. To better understand your situation, I would like to ask you a few questions:

  1. To start with, could you provide me with the name of the institution in France where you applied for the second-year biology degree? Additionally, can you tell me which university or institution you obtained your biology degree from?

  2. Did you check the specific prerequisites of the course in question before applying? Do the courses you took during your previous degree meet the requirements of the second-year biology degree in France?

  3. Regarding your motivation, could you share how you justified your choice in your application? If you wrote a cover letter, feel free to share it (if you wish). Additionally, what is your future plan in pursuing studies in biology?

Thank you for answering these questions so that I can better understand your situation and offer you suitable advice.

Best regards
