Public universities mainly focus on theoretical education and research, and do not charge students tuition. They only need a registration fee of about 300 to 400 euros per year (equivalent to tuition and fees collected in China). French university education is divided into three degree levels: three-year bachelor's degree, five-year master's degree and eight-year doctoral degree. Elite education is a major feature of the French education system. For example, engineering schools with higher requirements. Due to the extremely high requirements for students' entrance conditions, strict screening and excellent training methods, the graduates of engineering schools often have a bright future, a broad "money path" and paid internship opportunities during their studies, so they have become the ideal institutions that many French and overseas scholars dream of. So no matter what major you want to study and what diploma you want to get, you can find the right choice in France.

In order to coordinate with the standardization of the education system in the European Union, French universities now fully adopt the three-level academic system in Europe, namely bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree. The diplomas awarded by France to foreign students and domestic students are exactly the same, which is recognized by all of Europe. In June 2007, China and France signed an agreement on mutual recognition of diplomas. The bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree in China are compared with those in France.

Studying in France.
I. Major in Economics, Commerce and Management
Because the business administration education provided by the French Higher School of Business Administration is highly targeted and professional, pays attention to the practical operation and application of the course, and is closely related to the industry, students studying for a master's degree are more inclined to choose the former than those majoring in business economics provided by general public comprehensive universities. There are more than 230 such colleges in France. Although the tuition fees are higher than those of public comprehensive universities, the quality of education they provide and their recognition in France are relatively high.
Apart from France, some of these colleges enjoy a high reputation in Europe. In France, the employment rate of the top ten business school graduates is absolutely guaranteed. Such as: French Institute of Advanced Business, Paris Institute of Advanced Economics and Business, and Paris Institute of Advanced Management. Located in the center of Paris, these three colleges are recognized as the best higher business management schools in France and Europe. HEC was awarded the number one business school in Europe by London. ESCP-EAP ranks second in France and sixth in Europe. In addition, schools such as Lyon Business School and Lille North Advanced Business School are also famous.
Second, the engineering major
In view of the high dependence of France's own industrialized economy on engineering work and the high sense of identity of French society on engineers' diplomas and certificates, engineering has become one of the most sought-after majors in France. France has its own unique and extremely rigorous engineer education system developed and inherited. After more than 200 years of history, this system has developed quite mature and perfect. Compared with the education system in China, the education provided by the French engineer program is equivalent to the postgraduate education of key universities in China, and it is at the level of five-year higher education (Bac+5). It has the distinctive characteristics of high entrance threshold, high teaching quality, strong professionalism, close connection between teaching content and industry, high employment rate of graduates and generous wages and benefits.
In order to enter the diploma of engineer, high school graduates must first pass the exam and take the engineering preparatory course for nearly two years. Of course, a good command of French is the most basic prerequisite. China students must complete * * 500 hours of French study after being admitted to the engineering preparatory course, and get a basic score of 65,438+050 on TEF. After arriving in France, you must take French courses for nearly seven months, and finally pass the French proficiency test organized by the school to reach the level required by engineering colleges before you can really start preparatory study. The first two years of preparatory course belong to the study of basic knowledge of engineering, and there is no specific professional classification. After the end of preparatory study, that is, you get a (Bac+2) diploma, and you can enter the next three years of professional study through strict written and oral tests.
The elitism of this "elite education" is especially reflected in the emphasis on the combination of theory and practice. Courses are jointly developed by schools and enterprises according to the actual situation, and a considerable number of teachers are enterprise engineers with rich practical experience. In addition, the school also provides a large number of paid internship opportunities for students, ensuring that students can go to enterprises for internship within three years *** 10 months. Graduates with engineering diplomas are very popular with local French enterprises, and their annual salary is also quite high, about 35 thousand euros.
Third, art design major
France is a traditional art country, and the quality of its art education, especially art design, has always been the pride of the French. This year, more and more China students went to France to study arts and crafts, advertising design, product design, decoration and visual communication design, which became another hot spot for studying in France.
A great feature of French art colleges is that they require students' language ability, which is mainly reflected in the strictness and extensiveness of the entrance interview, requiring students to express their design concepts and ideas accurately and appropriately. In addition, students need to provide their own design works in China. Examiners mainly judge whether students are qualified for admission or whether their creative style is consistent with the school by their personal thinking ability and feelings expressed in their works. Relatively speaking, students' technical ability is not too high. Because China's domestic art and design industry pays special attention to French graduates, many students choose to return to China for employment and development after completing their studies.
Fourth, wine major
French agriculture is extremely developed and is a big agricultural country in the world. It mainly produces wheat, barley, corn and fruits and vegetables. Wine production ranks first in the world. There are dairy industry, meat animal husbandry and egg industry. France is the largest agricultural producer in the European Union and a major exporter of agricultural and sideline products in the world. Mechanization is the main means to improve agricultural productivity in France, which has basically realized agricultural mechanization. Agricultural products processing industry is one of the pillar industries of French foreign trade export surplus.
V. Medical major
The pharmaceutical industry in Europe is quite developed, and France is not far behind. Precision equipment and spacious laboratories abound in French universities, and the rigorous work style and persistent research of professionals have made French biopharmaceuticals innovate repeatedly. Studying medicine in France is a promising and profitable major. French medical specialty is independent of ordinary specialty, has its own unique system, high elimination rate and long study time, which makes few French students graduate from medical school every year, and their income after medical treatment is quite objective.
