Is there a French requirement for studying in French universities?

Most countries in Europe have their own language systems, and France uses French. Let's find out, do you need to learn French to apply for studying in France?

1. Do I have to take a French exam to study in France?

Now French is no longer a necessary condition for studying in France.

As early as the previous "Choose France" strategy, the French Prime Minister announced a new policy of increasing English teaching courses.

With the implementation of this policy, more and more French universities have set up English teaching majors.

According to relevant statistics, up to now, nearly 240 universities in France have offered about 1500 English courses, covering the requirements for students in economic management, science and technology, art and culture.

As a global language, English is easier than learning French.

However, if students choose English courses, they need to provide English transcripts. The most common ones are IELTS or TOEFL scores. Generally speaking, they require IELTS 6 or above, TOEFL 85 or above, than 500 or GRE 280 or above (required by some majors).

Second, the language requirements for studying in France

1, apply for matriculation

Preparatory classes are places where students can learn French better. In addition to language, preparatory classes will also help students adapt to their future study abroad life in terms of learning methods, basic knowledge and cultural life. It is relatively difficult to apply for preparatory classes. While learning the language, you can also try to apply for a better university. After a year of preparatory classes, the chances of getting a French offer will be much greater.

2. Take a crash course in French in China

If you go to France to study French directly on a zero basis, you will encounter communication obstacles caused by language barriers. Even in the French environment, you can't help students master French quickly, and the daily language you learn can't meet the needs of the course. If you study the language in China for a period of time before studying in France, the pressure will be much less. Most French classes in China adopt a gradual learning method, first taught by China people and then taught by foreign teachers. To apply for a French university, the French score requirements are generally above the European standard B2. After the crash of French, this standard can basically be reached in about six months to one year.

3. Language requirements for studying in France

French, if you want to implant a major, both language and social sciences and humanities should reach the level of language C 1. What do you mean? About 1000- 1500 hours of full-time study, basically four years of undergraduate study, can basically reach the level of C 1. Generally speaking, if students want to apply for engineering, they need to reach the level of B2. Generally speaking, French learning can reach 1000 class hours. If engineering students minor in French, they can learn it in four years.
