Are there tuition fee differences for EU and non-EU students in France?


Yes, there are tuition fee differences between EU and non-EU students in France.

For Public Universities in France:

- EU/EEA Students: Benefit from significantly lower tuition fees, as they are subsidized by the French government. For the 2024/2025 academic year, these are approximately:
- Bachelor’s (Licence): Around €170 per year
- Master’s: Around €243 per year
- Doctorate: Around €380 per year

- Non-EU/EEA Students: Since 2019, non-EU students pay higher tuition fees at public universities in France:
- Bachelor’s (Licence): €2,770 per year
- Master’s: €3,770 per year
- Doctorate: Fees remain the same as for EU students (around €380 per year)

Exceptions:
- Some French institutions (especially highly selective grandes écoles and private universities) may set their own fees, which are often much higher and do not always distinguish between EU and non-EU students.
- Scholarships and fee waivers may be available for outstanding non-EU students.
- International students with long-term French residence permits or refugees may be eligible for reduced fees.

Summary:
Yes, non-EU students generally pay higher tuition fees than EU students at French public universities.
