Tuition fees are low in public Higher education institutions because the French government subsidizes higher education. The true cost of education is the same as it is elsewhere in the world—around €10,000 a year. The difference is that in France the government assumes a large share of that cost.
Tuition fees for academic year 2023/24
For non EU-students: You will be required to pay differentiated registration fees if:
You are enrolling for the 1st time for a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, or for an engineering program, for the start of the 2023/2024 academic year; Within a higher education establishment that falls within the scope of the MESR; Provided that you are not permanently settled in France.
The state will thus cover two thirds of the cost of your training. The total registration fee that you will be required to pay will be:
€2,770 per year at the licence (bachelor) level
€3,770 per year at the master level
If you enroll in a degree at Doctorate level at the beginning of the 2023 academic year, the French government continues to assume most of the cost of your education until you complete your degree program. Your tuition for 2023/2024 will be €380. Non-EU doctoral students are not subject to new differentiated tuition fees.
