The first thing to do is to learn about life in France, studies in France, your level of French, the cost of living and documents to prepare.

From a baccalaureate (Sanaweya Amma) to PhD, "orientation" consists of:

  • Finding information on trainings, fields of studies and work careers
  • Personally building your project of study and professional life 
  • Validating a solid study project (writing it down) 
  • Anticipating consistent pre-registration requests (level of language, specialization requirements such as portfolio, etc.) 

A good orientation and a well-built project of study will have positive results on the analysis of your application by the institutions and on the decision they will take regarding your application.

1. Prepare your project of studies

Begin by identifying the field of study in which you would like to evolve. It must match your aspirations and skills. Define your professional project related to the chosen studies.

Ask yourself the right questions: What is my wish? What do I want to do for a living? What diploma will be needed to achieve my goal? 

It must be ensured that the study project is coherent and in the continuity of your previous studies. Your choice of training and your selection of institution (university, IUT, Grande Ecole) will result from your study project. 

   

Several tools are now available online to guide you through the definition of your study plan - try a MOOC  or an orientation test.

2. Search for the study programs

Once your project of studies is defined, it is necessary to implement it, which is to look concretely for the desired programs.

 

Check out:  

Access the sites of the programs and universities themselves, to verify the conditions of registration, the prerequisites, the fees of studies, etc.

 

The chosen course shall be consistent with your study project.

3. Write down your project of studies

It is necessary to determine the motivations of your project of studies and the choice of programs, this will be asked when you will proceed with the applications.

4. Evaluate your linguistic level

Except if you follow a course given in English, it is essential to master the French language both written and oral to study in France. An insufficient level in French is one of the first causes of failure of foreign students.


A minimum level, assessed by a test or diploma is therefore required to be admitted to universities or schools

5. Pay attention to the application procedures

The procedure might differ depending on the chosen institutions, so be sure to check the procedures that concern you.

Pay attention to the indications mentioned in the descriptions of the chosen formations and consult the site of the university.

Campus France Egypt facilitates your applications by allowing you to apply to several study programs with only one File. Applications are to be made  through the governmental platform Etudes en France.

Find out about the cost of studies, the daily life in France, etc. The French Consulate requires that the student can justify sufficient resources, parental or otherwise, to ensure your school and current expenses.
