Thinking of studying a Masters in France? You are not alone. More than 250,000 international students call France their home-away-from-home. France is one of the most popular study abroad destinations in the world, with a renowned education system and some top-ranking universities.
Why study a Masters in France?
Affordability – France is one of the more affordable study options in Europe. With the French government partially covering Masters tuition fee, home and international students pay a fixed amount, no matter their course.
Specialised programmes to choose from – No matter what you wish to study, there is a course at one of the many institutes of higher education for you!
Advanced industries and corporations – There are plenty of opportunities to stay and work even after your studies. Home to companies like Renault, Dior and Airbus, France has opportunities for everyone.
Live à la Française – Good food (primarily wine and cheese!) are an essential part of French culture and as a Masters student you’ll have the chance to experience it all. Not to forget the art and culture you’ll be exposed to on a daily basis. After all, France is not just a country, it’s a lifestyle!
Travel within Europe – Studying in France also gives you easy access to other European countries when you’re feeling like taking a break from your studies. International students can also travel freely within the Schengen Area on a French student visa.
