Study destination · EuropeFrance offers world-famous universities, grandes écoles and business schools, with public university fees that are modest compared with the UK and USA. Pakistani applicants apply through the Campus France process, which includes an academic interview.
France blends top research universities, specialised engineering schools and highly ranked business schools. English-taught master’s programmes in management, engineering and data are growing every year.
Pakistani applicants typically register on the Études en France platform, complete a Campus France interview and then apply for the long-stay student visa. French language skills give a big advantage for daily life and part-time work.
Public universities charge much less than private business schools or UK/US peers.
Funded master’s/PhD awards and embassy-supported schemes for Pakistani students.
EDHEC, SKEMA, emlyon and other schools offer internationally accredited programmes.
