Can non-French speakers study and work in France?


Absolutely! Non-French speakers can both study and work in France, and Pollster Education can guide you through the entire process.

Study in France (for Non-French Speakers):
- English-Taught Programs: Many top French universities and business schools offer Bachelor's, Master's, and MBA programs entirely in English, especially in fields like business, engineering, science, and technology.
- No Mandatory French Requirement: For English-taught courses, you are not usually required to demonstrate French language proficiency. Instead, you may need to provide proof of English proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, etc.).
- Language Support: Many universities offer French language classes to help international students adapt and integrate.

Work in France (for Non-French Speakers):
- Part-Time Jobs: As an international student, you are allowed to work part-time (up to 964 hours per year, about 20 hours per week). Many international students find work in hospitality, retail, or as teaching assistants—some roles may require basic French, but there are also English-speaking opportunities in larger cities and international companies.
- Internships: Many degree programs in France include internships, and international students can participate; these are sometimes available in English, especially in multinational firms.
- Post-Study Work: After graduation, France offers a post-study work visa (Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour – APS) allowing you to stay and look for work. English-speaking jobs are available, especially in sectors like IT, business, and engineering, but learning French will broaden your opportunities.

Our Support:
- Pollster Education can help you identify the right English-taught programs and guide you through the application, visa, and accommodation process. We also offer pre-departure briefings and tips for settling in France.

Recommendation:
While it’s possible to study and work in France without knowing French, learning even basic French can greatly enhance your daily life, job opportunities, and overall experience.
