Besides the breathtaking scenic beauty, dense historic past and cultural richness, France houses some of the oldest universities in the world. Some of the French Universities are rated world-wide as centres of academic excellence.
France spends per year an average 7,700 (3.3 lakh rupees) for each and every student engaged in higher studies. Since all foreign students are treated on par with national citizens this structural scholarship is available. France thus provides value for money by offering internationally recognised degrees at affordable costs.
World class quality is maintained by faculties consisting of professors from universities in France and abroad. There are also visiting professors from world famous institutions and numerous experts in various fields. Students are supervised and assessed on a daily basis to maintain low failure and drop out rates and enjoy innovative teaching methods which are modern, pragmatic, interactive and integrate new technologies. This helps the students to compete successfully in the international arena.
In order to attract more international students, French universities are now increasingly using English as the language of instruction especially in areas like Management, Engineering, Sciences etc.
Overseas students are given a warm welcome as part of the traditional French hospitality. Most campuses have a multicultural environment.
For students lacking proficiency in French, language centres and special courses are available during vacation time.
