Do international students need French language for France universities?


Great question! The language requirements for international students in France depend on the type of program and university you are applying to:

1. English-Taught Programs:
Many French universities offer a wide range of Bachelor’s, Master’s, and even some PhD programs entirely in English, especially in fields like business, engineering, science, and hospitality.
If you apply to an English-taught program:
- French language proficiency is NOT required.
- You will need to provide proof of English proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, etc.), as per the university’s requirements.

2. French-Taught Programs:
If you choose a program taught in French:
- You will need to demonstrate French language proficiency.
- Most universities require a minimum level of B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
- Commonly accepted tests: DELF, DALF, TCF, or TEF.

3. Additional Advice:
- Even if you study in English, learning some basic French is highly recommended for daily life, internships, and job opportunities in France.
- Some universities may offer foundation or preparatory courses in French if your level is below the required standard.
