r/Study_In_France

Hello, I am planning on applying to SciencesPo and would like to ask for some advice from the reddit community. I am currently stuck between Menton’s undergraduate minor in the middle east etc and Le Havre’s minor in the indo-pacific.

While I love Menton as a place and would like to live there, I find the topic of the middle east fairly mediocre opposed to the indo-pacific which I have much knowledge of the region; have written essays on the region and even a book!

Please offer any guidance, all is welcome!

so I really wanna go to uni in France. but you need at least a B2 to even apply but where I live applications open in 2 months and I obviously can’t be B2 in 2 months so do you guys think my dream is over.

I’m in my final year right now in med school and I have 16 months left to graduated and then 2 more years for internship but due to war in my country I don’t think I will be able to do an internship year i need to do it somewhere else but I need money for that so I was thinking of working for a non clinical role for a year so I can save money and do my internship later so I wanted to ask for a non euro img who is learning french right now and will probably be fluent at the time they graduate is it possible to land a non clinical job in France? Or if not what other countries are better and more realistic ? I was thinking of Spain butter I heard it’s difficult
I’m kinda losing hope right now I really need some help thanks

Also if someone have a better idea for me tell me please

I’m a 21 year old Iranian student in bachelors at the music conservatory in Lyon, I lived 3 years in Paris and moved to Lyon last year.
My dad has always provided for me financially , I worked a bit in Paris and soon I’ll start a baby sitter job in Lyon.
but each year the situation has gotten worse due to my country’s situation, and as of lately money has become a serious problem.
I’m literally on survival mode. I’ve cut down most unnecessary costs and rarely go out have fun or do activities besides… practicing my instrument.
So I’m either bad at this or there genuinely isn’t any sort of scholarship / financial aid for non-EU music students. I’m no longer eligible for the CAF, can’t even apply for CROUS apparently, so what else is there ?
There was a Fond Sociale that my conservatory managed to get hold of , they gave me 500€ in June and I’ll receive another 500€ in September, but that helps very little.
I wish I could do more work but due to the nature of my major I really need to spend long hours practicing my instrument and stay mentally sane at the same time. Please, tell me if there are ANY sort of scholarships or financial support I could be eligible for…. Thanks in advance.

Salam,

We all know that general medecine in Europe usually takes 6 years, however I heard that in lebanon they require, in order to work legally, 7 years at minimum.

So do I need to take an extra year to make them 7y, or it's completely acceptable with 6 and i directly continue into residency (internat)?

Note that i am gonna study medecine in france which is also 6y

I am Sanath, I have few doubts regarding accommodation for the France student visa. Could anyone plz help me in this.

I’ve started looking for accommodation, but I’m a little confused about one thing. Some people are telling me that, for the VFS visa application, it is possible to get an accommodation/lease contract for a certain amount (for example, around €200–€300) without actually booking the accommodation for the full duration, and that this contract can be submitted as proof of accommodation.i if you know any genuine contract provider plz let me know

Is this actually acceptable for the France student visa? Or is it better and safer to have a genuine accommodation booking.

Hi! Long story short, I need to apply for Visale, they ask for marital status proof (in my case, single) along with attestation d’inscription or justificatif de scolarité. I have attestation d’inscription from my uni coordinator but it doesn’t include my marital status (single!!)

Is it possible to get visale even without providing proof of being single and upload just attestation d’inscription

P.S I’m a 4 month exchange program student and my CROUS residence is pressing me

Hi everyone,
I received my Campus France payment validation email on August 10, but I still haven’t received any update or slot for my Campus France interview.

My application/payment appears to be validated, so I’m a bit worried about the delay. Is anyone else in the same situation? How long did it take for you to receive the interview scheduling/update after getting the payment validation email?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently preparing for my Campus France interview in Bengaluru. I’ve been admitted to a Master’s program in Data Science and AI.

For those who have already attended the interview, could you please share some advice on how I should prepare and what areas I should focus on?

Also, if anyone has attended the Campus France interview at other centres/consulates in India, please share your experience and any suggestions. I’d really appreciate knowing what the interview was like and what I should be prepared for.

Thanks in advance!

Any girls from chennai india . Planning for masters in france public uni this 2027 intake . Please lets connect .

I received my long stay student visa today and it was refused. The reason provided states: "The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was incomplete and/or was not reliable."

I submitted all the required documentation and finances for the entire duration of the course with the education loan sanction letter. Accommodation lease agreement for 1 year. I asked some students about this and one of them said that it's a technical issue from their end after he reviewed my cover letter and SOP, though my letters were a bit weak, rest everything was there. I have already contacted Campus France Delhi regarding this issue, but I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to proceed. Should I ask my college to contact Campus France Delhi and try to figure things out?

Could you please advise on the next steps for a resubmission? If there are any specific suggestions or additional documentation I can provide to help strengthen my re-application, please let me know.

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking a lot about studying in France, preferably in Paris, and honestly, I'm feeling conflicted.

I'm genuinely interested in building a career there, especially in the luxury industry, but I'm worried about the job market after graduation.

Here are the things that keep running through my mind:

How difficult is it for international students to find a job in France after a master's?

Is speaking French at a B2 level enough, or do employers expect near-native fluency?

Are companies actually willing to hire and sponsor international graduates?

Has anyone regretted choosing France because they couldn't find work afterward?

If you graduated in the last couple of years, how long did it take you to get your first job?

If you could go back, would you still choose France?

I'm not looking for reassurance. I'd really appreciate honest experiences, whether positive or negative. I want to understand the reality before investing a significant amount of time and money.

Hello guys I'm a non Eu student, currently studying computer science and I want to complete L3 in France and as u know my chances in public universities is really low so I want to know if there's any cheap private uni about 5000€ ( I used to work to gather a small amount to study abroad), I know it may sound ridiculous but I'm wandering if theres if not , please tell me the cheapest unis and how I can find a paid internship while studying

I’m applying for a France student visa from India and I’m financing my studies through an unsecured education loan from Credila.
There is a spelling difference between my name and my father’s name:

All of my documents (passport, academic documents, etc.) have the spelling…example, “Ramesh”

All of my father’s documents (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.) have the spelling “Ramish”

My father is the co-applicant on my education loan, but I’m primarily relying on the education loan for my financial proof.

There are no inconsistencies within either of our own documents ..the spelling is consistently Ramesh for me and Ramish for him.

Do I need to make a name-discrepancy affidavit stating that Ramesh and Ramish refer to the same family/name spelling variation?

Has anyone faced a similar situation while applying for a France student visa from India? Would VFS/consulate actually require an affidavit, or is the consistent documentation + proof of relationship sufficient?
Any advice based on actual experience would be appreciated.

Would there be any issue if we do not upload the visa documents online and instead submit the required documents physically at the embassy? I would appreciate it if seniors could share their experience and guidance on this.
