France is a country that welcomes students from around the world. More than its location at the crossroads of Europe and its unique art de vivre, discover why France is an ideal destination for Filipino students and researchers. 

France is a country that welcomes students from around the world.

Over 400,000 international students have chosen to study in France. According to the UNESCO, it is the fourth-largest host country for international students worldwide and the leading non-English speaking destination for inbound student mobility. Located at the crossroads of Europe and renowned for its unique art de vivre, France is a global capital of fine arts, literature, gastronomy, fashion, and culture.

France is home to internationally-ranked schools and universities that teach in English 

For today’s mobile and globalized Filipino youth, France is an ideal destination for studying abroad due to its rich culture and history, as well as the concentration of internationally-ranked institutions with English as the medium of instruction across various disciplines.

France is one of the world’s most research-intensive nations and is is among the global top 10 in terms of scientific publications and researchers per capita. Its high-level scientific output is recognized worldwide, the country is home to numerous Fields Medal awardees and Nobel Prize laureates. English is a working language in many doctoral schools (especially in the natural and technological sciences) throughout the country

Additionally, public investments and subsidies (food, rent, transportation, health coverage/social security) allow a more reasonable cost of living for international students compared to other attractive destinations.

Each year, the Embassy of France to the Philippines launches a call for scholarships. The PhilFrance Scholarships program, since its launch in 2016, has sent over 40 Filipino students and researchers to pursue their studies in France.

The community of French-educated Filipinos continues to grow

It is estimated that over 200 Filipino students currently reside in France, with many of them pursuing degrees in world-renowned institutions of higher learning. Most Filipinos studying in France are part of undergraduate exchange programs between partner institutions or pursue graduate degrees in the fields of business, natural sciences and engineering, political science and law. Many others are pursuing master's degrees, most of which are taught in English.
