application process for undergraduate study in France in p>2121

1. Pre-planning

Since the start time of French universities and the graduation time of Chinese students are relatively tight, everyone's preparation can't wait until after graduation, so after deciding to go abroad, it is necessary to allocate the time for graduation preparation and the time for preparing for application.

Second, prepare the language

The first thing to start is the preparation of the language. Because the undergraduate course belongs to the basic teaching, French is used, while the students in China have no foundation for learning French, so they need to report to classes in advance to lay the foundation and improve their spoken English.

If you study on weekends, it will take at least one year to finish the B2 content. Here, I suggest that you use it in winter and summer vacations, so that you will have a greater chance to pass the TEF/TCF exam and apply for admission directly.

Third, confirm the target

The schools and majors to be applied for can be confirmed nine months in advance, mainly to improve their hardware strength according to the requirements of the schools and majors, which will be more conducive to everyone's application, including academic GPA improvement, and half a semester is basically enough.

We should pay special attention to the additional requirements for students, which will be more important to the goal, not necessarily the popular standard, but we need to provide proof of internship, or proof of social practice, and the preparation of documents.

Fourth, submit the application

After the school opens the application channels, everyone can submit their own formal application. First, you need to fill in the application form online and submit it. You also need to print it out and submit it online with the prepared materials, so that you can confirm your qualifications.

Generally speaking, the assessment time will be between one and two months, and the progress will be announced officially. You can check it at any time after logging in, and you need to keep in touch with the school during this period. In case of missing materials or unqualified places, you can directly supplement them.

v. Participating in the interview

After the materials are approved, some schools will directly issue admission notices, while some schools, mainly those in the top rankings, will arrange the interview process to determine whether the students have enough ability to cope with their study and life in France, and make preparations after receiving the invitation.
