STUDY WITHOUT IELTS IN FRANCE

Posted date: 01 Sep 2022

For many foreign students, studying in France is a goal. France is a major study abroad location not only in the EU but also globally due to its top-ranked universities. Many students struggle with language proficiency tests and lose motivation when considering taking the IELTS or TOEFL. What if we told you that IELTS is not required to study in France? In many private and public universities in France, it is absolutely possible and not at all difficult. The full guide to studying in France without an IELTS is provided below:

Step 1: Research and list the programs and French universities you wish to apply to before beginning the application process to learn in France without IELTS. On the university website, you can look for French university rankings and eligibility requirements.

Browse all the relevant Universities and select the one that will benefit you academically and professionally. For the French university or institutions you have chosen, you must submit an online application. When you receive a confirmation letter, your selection is finalized.

It is desired by the Universities that the former education you have, i.e. Bachelor's Degree if going for Masters in France, was taught in English. However, there are video interviews performed prior to that to evaluate the English Language Proficiency of the candidate.

Step 2: Video or Skype sessions

After your profile is chosen for further consideration, you are invited to a Skype or other video interview. It is used to determine how keen you are to be admitted to a university and to determine how well you can understand spoken English. You must succeed in this interview to be admitted to French universities without taking the IELTS exam.

Step 3: Education costs and other expenses for studying in France:

If your Skype or interview session goes well, the university you've applied to will send you a letter of acceptance or confirmation. It serves as an official notification that you have been accepted into the program of interest. The following step is to pay for the first year's tuition fee for your program.

Step 4: Apply to Campus France

The following action is to sign up on the "Campus France" website. You must appear for an interview to acquire a NOC (No objection Certificate)

Step 5: French student visa applications

The issue of whether IELTS is necessary for a student visa to France now emerges. You can apply for a student visa in France if you have an admission letter from a French university that doesn't require IELTS.

It's time to apply for a student visa to France at VFS France once you obtain your No Objection Certificate. Once more, you will require some supporting documentation, and you must submit your file after scheduling an appointment. A scanned copy of your photo and your fingerprints are required for biometric verification.
