Study abroad · France
France combines elite grandes écoles with low public-university fees. Most non-EU applicants route through Campus France first — start there, not with the visa.
Step 1 — Go through Campus France
Applicants from many countries must use the Études en France procedure: academic file review, often an interview, then a pre-consent that unlocks the visa application. Deadlines are early (commonly autumn–winter for the following year) — missing the Campus France window ends that intake.

Step 2 — Secure admission and funds
Public-university fees stay low for most students (differentiated fees can apply to some non-EU arrivals — confirm your programme). Show roughly €615 per month of resources (check the current figure), plus accommodation evidence and health cover for enrolment and daily life.
Step 3 — Long-stay student visa, then validate
Apply for the long-stay visa for studies (VLS-TS) with Campus France pre-consent, admission, funds, accommodation and insurance. After arrival, validate the visa online within three months and complete any required medical or civic formalities.

Language proof for France
French-taught degrees commonly require DELF/DALF or TCF at B2–C1; English-taught programmes set IELTS or equivalent thresholds instead. Prepare with Jobins Training English courses for the English-taught route.
Our position, stated plainly
