What’s it going to cost me?

University tuition is rarely more than 300 Euros per academic year. In public schools of engineering, the annual tuition is approximately 600 Euros.

The range of tuition at other institutions, particularly business schools, is much wider. Tuition rates vary by program and by type of institution.

The French government supports higher education to the tune of about 6,000 Euros per student per year.

That high level of public support means that higher education in France is very affordable, for international as well as French students !

You'll need to have about 1,000 Euros a month to live in France. Below that level, you are likely to have trouble living normally and may not be able to devote sufficient attention to your program of study. Our sample student budget will help you plan.
