1, campus registration in France
Before applying for a university in France, everyone should register in the official website of the French Ministry of Higher Education, and ask everyone to fill in their personal basic information in French, and then submit it after confirmation. At this time, a confirmation email will be sent in the reserved mailbox, and everyone needs to click OK.
After the account application is completed, everyone will confirm the identity form they have filled in, submit it again after it is correct, and then print the complete form, which needs to be submitted together with the application materials.
2. Prepare application materials
Then you need to go to official website, the school where you apply, to find out the materials that need to be submitted for your application. If the list is incomplete or uncertain, you can call or email the school directly, and an email will be sent directly to your mailbox.
Here, you generally need to prepare your own academic materials and language materials, as well as basic transcripts, personal identification, supporting documents, mainly letters of recommendation and resumes. You should pay attention to the content arrangement of your resume and highlight your personal advantages.
Step 3 take the French exam
As mentioned above, it is necessary to mention the language materials. Most majors in colleges and universities teach in French, so everyone needs to submit their transcripts of French exams. This requires professional language training, and then sign up for the exam, so as to achieve qualified results at one time.
4. Submit an application for studying abroad
After all the above materials are ready, you can formally apply for the school. Be sure to pay attention to the deadline. Don't miss it. You must submit an online application first, and then mail the application materials. The review time is one to two months, and it needs to be confirmed in time after receiving the offer.

After getting the paper admission, you need to apply for a student visa. The materials you need to prepare are basically consistent with the application, and then you can supplement the proof of funds and the medical report. You must make an appointment for delivery before you go to the embassy.
6, face-to-face sign
On the day of signing the contract, in addition to the materials to be submitted, you also need to be interviewed. The problem basically comes from the materials submitted by everyone. In addition, you will also ask about the purpose and planning of studying abroad and make preparations in advance.
2. Interpretation of French application for studying abroad
1. How much does it cost to study in France?
In France, the course fee for English teaching is 80,000-1.6 million yuan a year. In France, if it is a course of French teaching, the tuition fee for the first year of learning French is 6.5438+0.2 million-6.5438+0.4 million yuan. There is no need to pay tuition fees for specialized courses, but there are also 40,000-70,000 daily expenses a year.
2. Can I change my major when studying in France?
It is not feasible for you to study in France and want to change your major, especially for those students who want to go to France for a master's degree after completing their undergraduate studies. If you want to change your major, you may be asked to repeat it, and some management majors in France will not be restricted by the original major.
3. What are the requirements for studying in France?
To study in France, you need IELTS 6.5 or above and G-MAT 550 or above to apply for English teaching courses. To apply for French teaching courses, you need TEF French Proficiency Test 250 or above, with a score of 80-85 or so in all subjects for four years, and relevant professional background.
4. When can French schools apply for admission?
Every school in France has a different application time. Usually, the application time of French public universities and art colleges is mainly from February to March, and the application time of other schools is also obviously different. French colleges and universities basically enroll students in September every year, but the enrollment time of preparatory courses and language colleges will be different, which may start in spring or 65438+ 10.
5. Can I apply for a French university directly after graduating from high school?
It's possible. If you have a high level of French, you can go directly to a French public university to study for the first year, or take an English teaching course. For students with low level of French, they can study French in China for half a year, then go to France for a half-year preparatory course, or study French courses or preparatory courses for one year in France, and then study undergraduate courses for three years in France.
3. Interpretation of language requirements for studying in France
1, French teaching
France has its own language, and French is widely used in the world at present, so most majors in China will still teach in French. If you want to have more choices, you should choose French as the teaching language.
Domestic preparation is to receive all-round training, because everyone has no foundation for language learning, so it is still difficult to learn. What can be done is mainly introductory learning. Lay a good foundation for yourself first, and the subsequent study will naturally be smoother.
Professional evaluation needs to take standardized French exams and refer to the common European reference framework of EU languages. According to the test phenotype, the scores are divided into six grades: A 1, A2, B 1, B2, C 1 and C2.
For students who apply for the exam, the minimum admission standard is B 1, which is the basic requirement for everyone to enter the preparatory course. With the certificate of B2, you can enter most professional courses, and the majors of law, literature and art should have the level of C 1.
2. English teaching
As the largest language in the world, English is also very popular in France. More and more majors begin to teach in English, so it will be highly applicable for everyone to communicate in English. So English learning is also necessary and needs to be confirmed.
However, everyone has a rich foundation in English learning in China, so it doesn't take long to improve the training. Generally speaking, everyone can take standardized tests directly in China, and after getting qualified results, they can go directly to France to start studying.
There is not much difference between IELTS and TOEFL, as long as you can ensure that you can submit qualified scores better. Generally speaking, IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 75 are relatively easy to reach.
However, in addition to passing the written test, you must have a good oral foundation, so that you can smoothly enter the formal study abroad life. After all, these skills will directly affect your life here.
4. Precautions for freshmen studying in France
1, renting a house
Renting a house is the primary problem for international students, but now the general study agents will arrange to pick it up locally, and they will help you arrange accommodation in advance. If you are lucky, you may be arranged in an inexpensive house with a relatively comfortable environment; But it may also be assigned to some houses that are far away or have higher prices.
It is not recommended to change rooms immediately here unless there is a security problem. Wait until all the dust settles, and then slowly find the right housing. After all, a stable foothold will save you a lot. If you are ready to start looking for a house, you must choose a reliable source of information and confirm that the landlord himself has legal residence and rental rights. You can even ask to see the landlord's ID card and sign a housing contract. In order to ensure foolproof, you can go through a formal intermediary company.
2. Registration and account opening
After the housing problem is solved, freshmen need to prepare the admission notice, the original materials and photos submitted at the time of application, and then register at the school to prevent the registration from failing due to the lack of materials. Registration includes basic compulsory social insurance expenses (about 75% can be reimbursed), and international students can purchase supplementary insurance according to their own needs, so that 100% of medical expenses can be reimbursed.
After that, international students have to open a bank card. French banks basically exempt students from annual fees in the first year, and deduct a small fund management fee every month from the second year. Students under the age of 26 can also apply for a youth account with relatively high interest. Students need to bring their passports, school registration certificates, housing contracts and money to be deposited when opening an account in a bank.
3. Apply for and renew the permanent residence card
At present, international students' study visas are basically valid for one year, so there is no need to worry about changing permanent residence cards immediately, but after the validity period, they will begin to prepare for changing permanent residence. To apply for a residence permit, you need to go to the police station in the province where you live and bring the housing contract, the registration certificate issued by the school and the transcript of the previous year and other related materials.
I suggest that you prepare in advance as much as possible. The process of handling long-term residence is quite long. It takes two or three months from submitting the application to getting the card, if you are lucky.
Step 4 attend class
When everything is ready, the real student life begins. In order to integrate into this new educational environment as soon as possible, I suggest you practice your communication skills with your classmates as soon as possible. Don't confine yourself to the Chinese circle, practice French more to facilitate communication with classmates and teachers. Moreover, education in France is very cooperative, and teamwork is often needed to complete your homework.
Step 5 change schools
If you think your major is not good enough, or you don't like it, you can change your major and school. However, before changing schools or majors, you must refer to the list of French universities recognized by the Ministry of Education of China and the diplomas recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. After all, to return to China for employment, you need certification from the Ministry of Education. So as not to waste years of hard study abroad and expenses.
