Study in France
Studying in France has increased in the last couple of years. It is evident from the increased numbers of outbound students to France. This is due to the fact that France has a considerable number of top-ranking universities and research institutes that provide an excellent launchpad for their students career-wise. Moreover, most universities do not require or mandate standardised tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, GRE or GMAT which make France a most sought-after destination for education. Their admission process involves an Interview based selection method that introspects the attitude and motivation of students rather than just mere test scores.
For students interested in art, cinema and fashion, France is “The Destination“. Over the past few centuries, France has established itself as a major European hub for painting, sculpture, photography, cinema, theatre (of all types), fashion and cosmetic design; and over the past several decades, France has begun to make its presence predominantly in the graphics and multimedia fields. Paris is still considered the centre of fashion and design in Western culture and is a prime location for any student interested in pursuing a career in these fields.
