WHY
STUDY IN
FRANCE? France is emerging as a
popular international students' destination abroad.
Besides the breathtaking scenic beauty, dense historic
past and cultural richness, France also houses some of
the oldest universities in the world. The University
of Paris founded in 1179, University of Toulouse
founded in 1229 and University of Montpellier founded
in 1289, are till date are rated worldwide as centers
of academic excellence. During the last four years
four French scientists have received the prestigious
Nobel Prize, a signal honour for the country. This
achievement reflects the high level and efficiency of
engineering studies in France. Education in France is
subsidized by the state and thus provides good value
for money by offering internationally recognized
degrees at affordable costs. In order to attract more
international students, French Universities are now
increasingly using English as the medium of
instruction specially in areas like management,
engineering, political sciences etc. For students
lacking proficiency in French, language centers and
special courses are available during vacation time.
