ABC Student News: University Information

Study in France

Last Saturday 26th September, the “Alliance Francaise” of El Salvador offered a conference about studying in France in their facilities, for any student that wants to achieve a higher education in France.

During the conference it was said that there are around 3500 educational institutions, between public and private.  They offer “licence”, “master” and “doctorat”.  In France school starts in September and it’s recommended that the student starts to organize paper work with a year in advance. For all foreign students that aren’t European and want to study in France, they need to contact with the French embassy of El Salvador, in order to obtain further information and how to obtain a visa. There is also a website for scholarships available for students, which is http://www.campusfrance.org/en/index.htm. This website is in three languages: French, English and Spanish, making it simple to understand. It’s easy to use depending on what you’re looking for, there’s plenty of information ranging from: finding the course you want, to grants, to reasons why to study in France and information on studying and living in France.

If you’re thinking of studying in France most universities will ask you for the Diplôme d’études en langue française (DELF) level B2, as this will show that you have a solid French level in order to attend school in France. You can take this exam in the “Alliance Française” here in El Salvador, it costs $100 to take the exam and the passing mark is 50 out of the 100 points. However, there is the possibility of studying in France and having your classes taught in English, you can find more information in the website of campusfrance.org, where there’s the option of searching for universities in France that have programs taught in English (http://www.campusfrance.org/fr/d-catalogue/programs_taught_english/programs.html).
