Admission Process for Studying in France
The European education system offers flexibility for international students. In many French universities, you can gain admission with a Medium of Instruction Certificate (MOI) from your previous institution, confirming that your earlier studies were conducted in English. However, having an IELTS scorecard can significantly strengthen your profile and improve your chances, especially at highly competitive universities.
Apart from academic documents, most institutions also conduct an interview. Don’t worry—this is usually a simple, conversational discussion aimed at understanding:
- Why you want to study in France
- Your chosen field of study and future plans
- Your ability to communicate in English (or French, depending on the program)
- Admission Requirements for Indian Students
Admission criteria may vary from one French university to another, but here’s a general overview:
- Undergraduate Programs (Bachelor’s degree):
- 10+2 certificate from a recognized education board
- Proof of English language proficiency (MOI, IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent)
- Postgraduate Programs (Master’s degree):
- A recognized undergraduate degree in a relevant field
- Some programs may require GMAT/GRE scores (especially in business, management, or engineering)
- Certain universities may also ask for relevant work experience
- PhD Programs:
- A master’s degree or an equivalent qualification
- A strong research proposal and alignment with a faculty supervisor’s area of expertise
- Documents Required for Studying in France
- In addition to academic transcripts and certificates, students are usually required to submit:
