10 good reasons for studying in France

Postsecondary programs subsidized and guaranteed by the French government

The French government subsidizes a very large share of the actual cost of higher education (€11,740 per student per year). No distinction is made between international students and French students: the admission requirements, the degrees awarded, and the attractive tuition rates are the same. Postsecondary degrees, based on the European structure of Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate, are regulated by the government, ensuring international recognition.

A sophisticated research enterprise

France ranks sixth in the world in terms of domestic spending on research and development. The country’s National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) is the world’s leading research organization (Nature Index, 2015). 12 of 55 Fields medals (the equivalent of the Nobel prize for mathematics) have been awarded to French nationals. 42% of the doctoral candidates in France are internationals.

Advanced industries and international corporations that are leaders in their field

France is home to 31 of the world’s 500 largest corporations (Fortune Global 500, 2014). Several French industrial groups are leaders in their sector and have operations all over the world: Airbus (aeronautics); Total, Areva (energy); Orange (telecommunications); Sanofi (health); LVMH (luxury goods); L’Oréal (cosmetics); Danone (food products).

France ranks third in the world in the responsiveness of its health services to the needs of the population (IMD, 2014).

After English, French is the most widely studied language in the world. It is the world’s third most common business language and second most common language of international news (OIF, 2014).

France is also the world’s fourth-largest exporter of services (OMC, 2013) and Europe’s leading destination for manufacturing investments (EY, 2014).
