Why Study in France?
France is changing what non-EU students pay from September 2026. Universities have been directed to charge differentiated tuition: €2,895 a year for a bachelor's degree and €3,941 for a master's. PhD programmes are not affected. If you are applying for a 2026/27 start, budget against these figures rather than the older, lower rates still quoted on many websites.
Key Takeaways
- From September 2026: €2,895 per year for bachelor's, €3,941 for master's, for non-EU students
- Doctoral programmes are exempt from the differentiated fees
- CVEC student life contribution fixed at €105 per year
- Up to 2 years of post-study work rights after a master's degree

Intakes and Deadlines
The main intake is September, with a smaller January intake at some institutions. Applications for most programmes run through Campus France and open well ahead of the start date, so begin roughly a year out.
Work Rights and Costs on the Ground
A master's graduate can apply for a post-study work authorisation of up to two years. Living outside Paris changes the budget substantially — €700–€1,000 a month against €1,200–€2,000 in the capital.
France Student Visa — What Actually Matters
Fee exemptions exist but are tightly limited: no more than 10% of students will be exempted, mostly scholarship holders and hardship cases. Of the available grants, 60% are reserved for priority disciplines — health, digital and AI, quantum science, biotechnology, environment, energy, space, food, IT and communications. If your field is on that list, apply for funding early.
