French President Emmanuel Macron recently visited India and announced that he wants to boost ties between the two countries. In order to execute the plan, Macron has announced that France is aiming to welcome at least 30,000 Indian students to the country by 2030.
Essential Requirements – Visa and Language
As said by Macaron,“We are developing the network of Alliances françaises, with new centers to learn French. We are creating international classes which will allow students, who do not necessarily speak French, to join our universities.”
So, people who do not speak French can also get admission in French universities.
About Visa, the French president has added that the process would be streamlined for students, and for those who have already studied in France can easily return to the country for job purposes.
A five-year short-stay Schengen Visa is in place for post graduates and the visa process is really simple requiring a moderate amount of fees and a week’s time for all the processing.
If you enroll in a degree at the Doctorate level, the French government will assume most of the cost of your education until you complete your degree programme. Non-EU doctoral students are not subject to new differentiated tuition fees.
