Study in FRANCE
The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, croissants, crepes and macarons. There are few countries that are famously known across the globe for so many aesthetic and delicious wonders. Along with the aesthetic appeal, the country has a highly developed and career-oriented education system. Providing more than 1200 classes in English, France has become an education hub attracting students from all over the world. There are generally two types on classes held in universities: “cours magistraux” or theory lectures and “travaux dirigés” (TD - tutorials)/ “travaux pratiques” (TP- practical or lab work).
Among all the courses offered by French universities, Management stands on top as it’s the most popular course there. Specializations in different fields such as Entrepreneurship, project management, strategic management and general management are great options. While management is a top choice, engineering and linguistics are also one of the popular courses. The French Engineering Universities are very competitive when it comes to the admission process. However, the higher teaching standards and high-quality practical training make it worth the competition. Top universities in France include Université PSL (Paris Sciences et Lettres) and Ecole Polytechnique. According to the QS world university rankings 2021 the universities rank 52 and 68 in the world respectively. Additionally they also have a global employer reputation rank of 20th and 15th respectively. There are multiple government and non government funded scholarships available to study in France to make your dream come true and the application is fairly easy.
The industries of Health care, manufacturing and retail are gaining a lot of traction in the job market of France. Additionally, construction, accommodation and professional services also remain in high demand. In recent years, France has been facing problems not with lack of jobs but lack of skilled labour. The unemployment rate has been on a downward trend since 2016 due to the efforts of the government. Employers’ recruitment efforts increased by 18.7% in 2018, following a sustained increase of 8.2% in 2017. This is good news for students trying to explore work opportunities after graduation.
