Once, getting an education abroad was the privilege of the elect, and the rest could only dream about it .And there is still such a stereotype: there is an opinion that in order to study in another country, you need to have a strong financial base or, at least, good connections .This misconception arises from the lack of information and the lack of mass educational practice abroad in the past decades .However, in the age of globalization and great opportunities, everyone who aspires to a dream receives the desired reward - a foreign diploma that opens new and boundless prospects..Today, the best higher and secondary educational institutions in the world offer a lot of programs for foreign students, students and those who want to improve their qualifications, including in France .The case for small: it remains only to choose a country, university and faculty .

France: romance does not interfere with studies
Who among us did not dream of preparing for the exams on the Champs Elysees or before going to school to go to a small cafe and take a soft croissant for breakfast? To bring this beautiful fairy tale to life today is more than real, because France is in the top 10 countries that offer the most qualitative and, most pleasantly, quite affordable education. More than 80 universities offer various training programs not only in the most popular educational areas, but also in highly specialized.
In France, the educational system is significantly different from ours .Primary school, where children study from 6 to 11 years old, has 5 classes and includes a preparatory course, two primary and two middle courses .Then the children go to college, where they have to undergo several cycles: adaptations (6 and 5 classes), orientations (4 and 3 classes) and professional cycle (2 and 1 classes) .At the end of the third year of the college, boys and girls should decide which diploma they will receive at the Lyceum, where they will go after college: a bachelor (3 years) or a professional (2 years).The first is valued more, since it gives an opportunity to enter the university right after obtaining a degree of $ ±.A professional diploma (in Russia is equivalent to a diploma of secondary specialized education) does not allow you to receive higher education, for this you will have to complete another year at the Lyceum in order to pass the baccalaureate exam $ ±.
Higher education in France also involves a long (5-8 years) and short (2 years) training periods. The advantage of the second one is the rapid employment and saving of time on study, and the first one - the opportunity to get a high-paying and prestigious position.
Anyone who chooses a long cycle is required to obtain a general education diploma for 2 years, then pass a license course (1 year) and mastery (1 year) to determine the specialty. Then students study the chosen direction in detail and pass the practice, as a result of which they receive a diploma of higher specialized education (French MBA) or a diploma of in-depth study and research, which is given after the defense of scientific work. Then, like us, you can go to graduate school for 3-4 years.
Schools and colleges in France, or the child of Paris
Recently, in modern families, parents tend to teach their children foreign languages from an early age. Most often, it's English, German and French. There are many methods: you can buy books and cartoons in another language, hire a tutor, send it to a language school, or send abroad for a short or long period. The last method of influence is most effective - after all, getting into the natural French environment, your child will receive communication skills and will be able to learn the language faster.
Summer schools and colleges (short term)
Most often children and adolescents aged 9-17 are sent to summer French schools .Usually the period of study is 2-4 weeks, with an additional charge of $ ±$.The price ranges from 1000 to 4000 EUR depending on the number of days, the status and location of the school .The price, as a rule, includes: airport transfers, training, meals, accommodation (in the family, apartments or school dormitories), medical insurance, excursions, entertainment, textbooks, notebooks and stationery .Air tickets, visa and registration fee are almost always paid separately .
The standard program of the summer school includes about 20 lessons of 45 minutes a week, but you can study and at an intensive rate - up to 30 lessons. Already in school, based on the results of a small entrance test, groups of 6-8 people are formed (by age and level of knowledge).
In addition to productive classes and language practice of your child, you will find exciting excursions, sports and a lot of entertainment activities..In addition, the summer school is an excellent alternative to the summer camp, because here children not only have a rest, have fun and communicate with their peers, but also receive the necessary intellectual load .Moreover, you can choose an educational institution not only in the center or suburbs of Paris, but also on the coast (for example, in Cannes or Nice) .Thus, you will give your child a unique opportunity in their free time to not only take sun baths and enjoy swimming in the waters of the Mediterranean, but also learn the water sports (younger groups go to the beach with a school tutor).
Long-term education in schools and colleges
In France, all schools are divided into public and private, there are also boarding schools. You will be able to give your child to each of these schools, provided that he or she has a guardian in the role of which, for example, the school administration or some other organization that has assumed this responsibility may act. Upon admission, you will need to pass the test in French, which involves knowing its basics.
In general public schools your child will be taught completely free of charge, you will have to pay only for accommodation (if it is a boarding school). However, training in private institutions will cost you at least 16 thousand EUR per year. Nevertheless, the latter are worth their money: they are considered more modern and are famous for highly qualified teachers who find an individual approach to each of the students, develop their personal potential and help determine the direction in the senior classes of the college.
The choice is yours: each of the schools has a website on which you will find contacts for feedback. This will give you the opportunity to better familiarize yourself with the training conditions and get answers to all the questions that arise.
Higher education and MBA in France
Today, many students from Russia come to study in France. The young people are attracted not only by the romantic atmosphere that reigns in this country, but also by the opportunity to get exactly the education they are dreaming about, a pleasant bonus to which will be a perfect knowledge of the French language.
More than 80 universities, about 500 higher schools, several thousand training centers offering highly specialized courses are all available for our students in France.

Usually, in order to enter the university, foreign students do not need to take entrance examinations (in higher schools, on the contrary, examinations are held, and the competition for a place is high enough) - the commission checks them only for knowledge of the language (verbally or with the help of a test). ±$ The
If you have already graduated from university in your country and want to continue studying in France, then you need to provide a diploma of completed higher education. If you do not yet have a Russian diploma for higher education, but you want to study in France, it does not matter - you will definitely be admitted to a French university.

If the invitation has come, you need to send a dossier to the address of your chosen higher education institution (there are special forms), which must also be included in the French embassy before March 15, certified copy of the diploma, certificate DELF or TCF / TEF (if you have it there is, at the admission test for knowledge of French to take it is not necessary), copies of the passport and birth certificates .Documents for admission to the master or license level are slightly different from those that are submitted for the first cycle .It is worth remembering that all documents that you send to France must be duplicated in French .
Another compulsory procedure is the registration of a long-term student visa, which will allow you to obtain a residence permit in France. To get it, you need to provide a copy of the insurance policy and a certificate of financial solvency - the state should know that you have something to live in a foreign country. You also need to make health insurance.
Finance

Where to study
