One big benefit of studying in France is the opportunity to live in the place that invented “savoir-vivre”, the art of living well. Did you know that France is the most visited country in the world? The French people are proud of their cultural heritage, lovely countryside, quiet towns, and fine restaurants-all of which they’re eager to share with visitors.
France is a relatively large country of amazing geographical variety. Her transportation and health systems are among the world’s very best. France is a safe and tolerant country.
In France you’ll have access to a multitude of athletic, touristic, and cultural activities-all at special student prices. Most of France’s institutions of higher education are located in city centers, close to cultural and social life. Museums, libraries, cinemas, theaters, and cafes are rarely very far away.
”France is a beautiful country. It’s also a major cultural center. And that’s really important to me. You can’t choose to study here without taking into consideration the richness of the culture and history of the country.” (Nandita, India)
You’ll study in the heart of Europe
Studying in France rarely means studying only in France. Many if not most schools have added European components to their programs, offering courses on Europe or internships elsewhere in the European Union. Students have the opportunity to enrich their french experience with new discoveries and experiences.
Not surprisingly, most courses in France are taught in french, a language spoken by more than 200 million people in 50 countries. But you’ll have ample opportunities to learn or practice other European languages-English, in particular. Advanced English is taught in many programs, especially in business and engineering.
France is an ideal place for the student who wants to explore Europe. It’s easy, really easy, to reach most of Europe’s important cities (plus hundreds not so important but still worth the trip). Amsterdam, London, Brussels, Barcelona, Milan-all await you for the weekend or for a longer stay.
