Why Study in France?

If all of the things that we've already told you about France were not enough, what if we told you that the country has one of the most prestigious education systems in the world, as well? Whether you are an individual seeking undergraduate studies, postgraduate schooling or something else, an amazing education can easily be found in the country. No matter what region that you go to there are numerous universities and educational institutions offering world-class education for people far and wide. There is a reason that so many people choose to come to France to receive their education and when it is the best education that you require, it is well worth your time to look at the colleges and universities that are available throughout the country.

As a student at one of these institutions you can rest assured that you will receive an amazing education, while also enjoying the many other things that are to be loved in the country. The universities in France offer students the chance to attend their institutions on a full and part time basis, with a number of class schedules and courses available. These courses will all vary by the college, as will the times that you can attend. However, it is quite easy to find something that accommodates your schedule and allows you to go to university in your own time.

Some of the universities in France may also offer their students the chance to complete some of their courses at home via their own computer. This is again something that you should check with the university concerned, as not all of them will offer this option. Additionally, it may not be offered for all courses or for all subjects.

It is French tradition to welcome foreign students from all across the world. Since the Middle Ages, and the birth of La Sorbonne, the first French University which occurred more than 800 years ago, students from all across Europe have come to France to study, especially in the areas of theology, medicine and law.

But people are not just coming from Europe any longer. Many students from the USA attend college in France. There are also a growing percentage of college enrollees from other countries as well. People come to France to get their education because they know what kind of system awaits them. France is keen on providing top of the line education in all subjects and to all students. This is a true statement no matter what university you plan to attend.

No matter what country you are coming from you can expect to be welcomed with open arms. There is so much diversity in France. It is one of the things that keeps the country such an amazing place to be for all. It is always nice to know that you will fit right in with the crowd when you arrive. No one will question the fact that it can be hard to be the new kid on the block. If you are coming from another nation and culture and are unaware of the country and know no one, it can be far scarier. Knowing that no matter where you choose to go in France you can rest assured that you are going to be welcomed and feel right at home, really is a tremendous boon.

The French government introduced a vigorous support policy in 1998 welcoming foreign students into French educational institutions. The policy was introduced and followed through by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs along with the Ministry of Education and is made up of four different components. These four components are:

  • To modify the policy of visas awarded, to contribute to its simplification and to give priority to all students. Two exceptional measures have been passed as well: the refusals of motivation and the right to appeal.
  • The creation of the Campus France Agency, especially present in education fairs, to promote French higher education in foreign countries. It is advised that all students interested in studying in France should visit its web site: www.campusfrance.org/en.
  • The current creation of a European University to make diplomas available in the country more reliable.
  • A new structured program of French Government grants that makes them more attractive to foreign students and also to make these grants match with the internationalisation of the French institutions of higher education.
