Program overview

Program overview

EF University Foundation Program is a 6-, 9- or 11-month program of study that helps students meet the language requirements for university entrance in France. Intended for high school graduates, this program bridges the gap between your previous education and what is expected of you at a university in France.

EF University Foundation Program will give you the French training needed to meet university enrollment requirements.

In addition to your studies, you will visit universities and have dedicated University Application Workshops with trained teachers. Such sessions will help you to navigate the process of choosing and applying to a degree program.

Furthermore, your University Pathways Manager will be on hand to give you one-to-one assistance and advice, organize visits to universities and ensure you meet critical deadlines to maximize your chances of acceptance to the best possible university.

France has a long history in academic excellence.

Today, its school system provides students with a clear pathway to success.

Why study in France?

France is home to several world-renowned academic institutions that have helped shape the modern world. From prestigious art schools to business-focused institutions, French universities have been providing students with a first-class education for centuries. Today, students benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, small class sizes, low tuition fees and leading professors in universities across the country.

Education in France French students first attend school at the age of 6 and stay in L’École Primaire until the age of 10. Between 11 and 15, students attend Le Collège, which is equivalent to middle school. Students must pass a test called Le Brevet to graduate from Le Collège and progress to Le Lycée. At Le Lycée, students spend three years studying for their Baccalauréat général, which is the qualification required to enter university.

Undergraduate Students can apply to their chosen public and private universities once they have gained the necessary academic and language qualifications. Public universities accept all applicants who have the Baccalauréat général or international equivalent; private institutions, however, have a much stricter application process, including an entrance exam. Tuition fees also vary depending on the type of university and course. Undergraduate degrees usually last for three years and focus on one subject. Students collect up to 60 ECTS (credits) per year and need 180 to graduate.

Postgraduate A master’s degree in France lasts for two years. After the first year of study, students must decide between working toward a teacher-led master’s degree or a master’s degree in research, with the latter option viewed as a PhD gateway. Depending on your course and institution, you’ll have to complete a dissertation or research project to graduate with a master’s degree.

Paris’s world-famous sights, unrivaled cuisine and chic residents combine to create the perfect student destination. Add to the mix an innovative business scene and global outlook, and Paris has all you need to launch your international future.
