Scholarship details
Studying in France is the dream of most students living in developing countries. Citizens of the European Union do not need a visa to study in France. To access higher education in France, foreign students must prove that they have passed their previous level of studies like high school or a bachelor’s degree program.
Along with the enrollment application, the student must submit:
- A letter of motivation
- A birth certificate with its French translation
- The certified copies and their translation of the titles or diplomas in Spain/France allow access to the training that you want to do in France.
- The certified copies of the marks obtained in the last two years when it comes to the first enrollment in higher education.
To enroll in a University, community students and students from the European Economic Area submit directly the application for enrollment in the University they have chosen. An exam assesses the degree of written and oral comprehension of the French language. The chosen University is the only one authorized to authorize, depending on the student’s diplomas, admission to the desired training.
