Can students study in France with low budget?


Absolutely! France is a popular study destination for international students, and it can be a very budget-friendly option—especially compared to countries like the USA, UK, or Australia. Here’s how studying in France can be affordable, and what you should consider:

1. Low Tuition Fees


- Public Universities: Tuition fees at French public universities are heavily subsidized by the government. For the 2024/25 academic year, typical annual fees are:
- Bachelor’s: Around €2,770 per year
- Master’s: Around €3,770 per year

- Eiffel Scholarship, Campus France Scholarships, and Government Scholarships are available for international students.
- Pollster Education can assist you in identifying and applying for these scholarships to further reduce your costs.

3. Living Costs


- Paris: €1,200–€1,800/month (shared accommodation, food, transport, etc.)
- Other Cities: €800–€1,000/month (living outside Paris is much more affordable)
- Students can also apply for CAF (housing allowance) which can reduce rent costs.

4. Part-Time Work


- International students can work up to 964 hours per year (about 20 hours per week) during their studies, which helps cover living expenses.

5. Affordable Student Life


- Discounted student meals in university cafeterias, cheap public transport passes, and cultural discounts are widely available.

6. Application & Visa Process
