Dreaming of cobbled Paris streets, late-night cafés, buzzing metropolitan campuses, and breezy afternoons by the Seine while you study? It’s no wonder so many international students aspire to study in France. With its globally respected universities, research-oriented institutes, top-notch education, comparatively affordable tuition fees, and an inclusive multicultural student life, France strikes a sweet balance between world-class academics and European charm.

Whether your course is taught in English or French, you must prove that you are ready for the academic offerings. Universities need to ensure you can keep up with lectures, assignments and discussions. That’s where language-proficiency tests and, in some cases, standardised exams come in. These test scores are a reliable, globally recognised evidence that you are prepared for an international classroom, and they help your application stand out.
