202 1 application process for studying abroad in France

I. Advance planning

As the start time of French universities is closely linked with the graduation time of China students, everyone's preparation must not wait until after graduation, so after deciding to go abroad, it is necessary to allocate time for graduation preparation and application preparation.

Second, prepare the language

The first thing to start is language preparation, because the undergraduate course is basic teaching, so French is used, while domestic students have no French learning foundation, so they need to report to class in advance to lay the foundation and improve their spoken English.

If you study on weekends, it will take at least one year to finish B2. Here, I suggest you use it in winter and summer vacations, so that you will have a greater chance to pass the TEF/TCF exam and apply for admission directly.

Third, confirm the goal.

Schools and majors to apply for can be determined nine months in advance, mainly to improve their hardware strength according to the requirements of schools and majors, which will be more conducive to everyone's application, including the improvement of academic GPA, and half a semester is basically enough.

Pay special attention to the additional requirements for students, which will be an important part of the goal, not necessarily a popular standard, but you need to provide internship certificates, or produce social practice certificates, as well as the preparation of documents.

Fourth, submit an application.

After the school opens the application channel, everyone can submit their own formal application. First, you need to fill in the application form and submit it online. You also need to print it out and submit it online and offline with the prepared materials in order to confirm your qualifications.

Generally speaking, the evaluation time will be between one and two months, and the progress will be officially announced. You can view it at any time after logging in. In the meantime, you also need to keep in touch with the school. If there are missing or unqualified materials, they can be directly supplemented.

Five, to participate in the interview

After the materials are approved, some schools will directly issue admission notices, and some schools, mainly the top schools, will arrange an interview process to determine whether the students have enough ability to cope with their study and life in France and make preparations after receiving the invitation.
