Study Abroad Programs in France

France has quite a reputation preceding it, and whether you see it through rose-colored glasses or not is a whole other story. The truth of it is though, that the French have a robust and highly regarded educational system from primary school through collège (their version of high school) and beyond to universities (arts, sciences, some professional/tech fields), grandes écoles (professional or technological education), or specialized schools. Studying there is a bon idée for those interested—just don’t forget to take in the sights, smells, and experiences!

Most study programs in France require proficiency in French, though you can also find some programs taught in English. For more specific requirements, you can check with the university or institution you’re applying to.

Paris definitely tops the list of many international students. But other cities are also worth checking out, such as Toulouse, Lyon, and Bordeaux—each possessing its own unique charm.

You can choose from a wide range of subjects for your study program. Among the top options are culinary arts, fine arts, art history, and music—which France is largely known for. It also makes sense to study the native language, French.

A Summer That Transformed My Outlook

September 09, 2025by: shouryaa sharma - IndiaProgram: Ultimate Summer in Europe: 5 Countries in 1 Month
9

Joining Forum-Nexus was one of the most enriching experiences of my life. Traveling across Europe while taking classes gave me a unique blend of academic learning and cultural immersion. Every city brought new perspectives, professional visits helped me understand international business at a deeper level, while group activities and friendships made the journey even more memorable. The program pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me adaptability, teamwork, and global awareness. I left with stronger career skills, a network of friends from around the world, and countless memories that I’ll cherish forever.
