Freshmen study abroad.

Hello, the following is the application process for studying abroad:

Notarial materials → 2. Apply for university → 3. Learn French → 4. Apply for a passport → 5. TEF test → 6. Visa.

1. notarized materials

You need to go to the notary office where your household registration is located or where you work (show your work certificate) to handle the education and birth notarization in duplicate. These two notarial certificates belong to the normal business scope of the notary office and are internationally recognized. (All must be translated into French and attached)

Notarization of academic qualifications: notarize the school where you graduated, the highest academic qualifications, graduation time, professional name and graduation certificate number;

Birth notarization: notarize your name, gender, date of birth, place of birth, nationality and parents' names.

apply to university

Send your notarized materials, complete the application form and the necessary pre-registration amount of the school to the secretariat of the French university designated by you; (Note that it is difficult for an individual to get a college professional notice. )

This application form must contain the following necessary contents: name, gender, age, marital status, domestic detailed mailing address and contact telephone number, and also indicate your professional plan for studying abroad, cost arrangement plan, years of residence in France, personal and family economic situation, etc.

After sending this material, if the school approves it, you can receive the admission notice and housing guarantee from the university within 2 weeks at the earliest. These two materials are necessary when applying for a visa!

Learn French in advance

At present, the French Embassy in China stipulates that you must study in China for at least 500 hours (Shanghai may need 1000 hours), and the certificate for 500 hours will be issued by TEF Examination Center. You may have to take a grade exam during your study, depending on the regulations of French training centers and embassies and consulates.

(Author's Note: It is very necessary to study French for 500 hours in China. The reason is simple: on the one hand, it will be smoother as far as visas are concerned; On the other hand, in France, if you don't know anything about French, it will cause great obstacles to your study and life. On the contrary, it helps to shorten the period of learning French in France and greatly gain time. So I suggest you learn French as well as possible if conditions permit, and don't ignore all objective factors in order to stay in France in a hurry. )

Obtain a passport

Applying for a passport is relatively simple. At present, the domestic public security departments have greatly relaxed the censorship restrictions on citizens going abroad. What you need to do is to submit the admission ticket, notarized materials, household registration book, bank deposit certificate (stipulated by the local public security organ) and the completed application form to the exit-entry administration department of the public security bureau where the household registration is located.

Of course, during this period, you may need to go to the police station for political verification. For college graduates, they also need to go to the study abroad center of the provincial education commission to receive approval materials. This is mainly to examine the work and service years of college graduates in China (according to the regulations, the state recruits 3 years for master's degree, 5 years for undergraduate course and 2 years for junior college; There is no limit on the service life of trainees, self-funded students and orientation students inside and outside the plan). If the service period is not completed, the national training fee must be paid back (master's degree 3000/ year; Undergraduate course in 2000/ year; College 1500/ year, depending on the specific situation of each province). In addition, the provincial education commission also requires the provision of national security education certificates and bank fund guarantee certificates from eight places of the National Security Bureau (this certificate can be the same as the passport certificate).

After the materials are ready, the general public security organ can complete the passport within one week.

Take the TEF exam

This is the French proficiency test required by the French Embassy in China. There are three or four exam opportunities every year, which are usually arranged in June, August, September and 12.

TEF examination is conducted and graded by the competent authorities in Paris. The results will be announced about 2 weeks after handing in the papers; The passing score depends on the average level of the current exam. TEF test is a formal international test, which is relatively strict. It consists of two parts: written test and listening; The written test mainly tests grammar and reading; Scoring method: 65438+ 0 point per space, 450 spaces; Answer one point, mistake one point, no answer, no points. The total score is accumulated and multiplied by 2 to get the final score. (Author's Note: If the TEF score is only used as a visa certificate, it is enough to get the average score. Of course, the higher the score, the smoother the natural visa. )

6. Visa

Visa is the most critical pass, and all efforts will succeed or fail here. In order to get the visa smoothly, you must make full preparations in advance.

First, get the application form from the embassies and consulates in various regions, which generally includes: name, date of birth, gender ……, purpose of studying in France, major studied, budget of study years in France, domestic work situation, economic source, etc.

Then it needs to be reviewed in the cultural department. This is a crucial step. Generally, the visa officer will ask some simple conversations (of course, there may be Chinese translation), mainly depending on whether your materials are complete and how TEF scores are. (Author's Note: Everyone may have all the materials. Your ideal advantage lies in your TEF score, so it is necessary to study French well at home! )

The necessary materials for a visa generally include:

University admission notice (only language school admission notice is not enough), French housing security;
