| Application of Graduates | The graduate admittance system in France is extremely competitive. All French institutions set their own admission standards and criteria. Application forms, requirements and information are obtainable directly from the institution. Graduate admittance to the universities is established by the range of committees. These usually get together in June, a number of months before the beginning of the academic year in September.
It is a better for a student to have all completed forms submitted by at least January if it is possible. This is particularly significant if a student will be looking for funding or applying for any scholarships.
France has no generally appropriate system for determining the correspondence of French and foreign diplomas. Each educational institution sets its own admission requirements. The EU instituted European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) permits many foreign qualifications to be recognised in France.
The EduFrance has a wealth of material for the international student looking at graduate study in France including a programme database, financial support information and general tips on living and studying in France.
Egide is another French Government body that provides information on courses, exchange arrangements and scholarships.
The Fondation Kastler is a service for foreign scientists and researchers interested in researching in France.
