Why study in France?<\/h2>\n

Moving to France<\/a> to study puts you in the middle of Europe. A French student residence permit lets you travel to other Schengen countries without a separate visa and work part time in France during term, up to the legal limit of 60 per cent of full-time hours, around 964 hours a year.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, French universities offer moderate tuition at public institutions, high teaching standards, internationally ranked universities, career opportunities after graduation, a route to permanent residence, <\/span>an active cultural life and a multicultural society.<\/p>\n
