Over the past two decades, a growing number of countries have introduced centralised procedures to regulate enrolment in the various higher education programmes. As these procedures contain a wealth of information on students’ educational aspirations, the characteristics of the courses for which they may apply, and the criteria used to rank applicants, these procedures offer promising, albeit as yet under-exploited, opportunities to better understand how educational pathways diverge at the point of entry into higher education. Between 2008 and 2017, the regulation of enrolments in the first year of higher education was managed by the Admission Post-Bac (APB) procedure, which was replaced in 2018 by the Parcoursup platform.
