This seminar will provide students with more details regarding studying in France, the living costs, and post study work experience. More than 350,000 foreign students currently study in France, and the numbers are steadily increasing, making study in France in high demand and France the first non-English speaking host country for international students.
France offers strong and high quality educational programmes in all the fields at French public universities, which welcome more than 80 per cent of the total number of students, at affordable prices as they are subsidized by the French government. Besides public universities, more than three 500 private and public schools welcome the students in different fields such as business, engineering, fine arts, architecture, journalism.
