Since launching the national strategy “Bienvenue en France” (“Welcome to France”) in 2018, aimed at hosting 500,000 international students by 2027, the French government has consistently introduced initiatives to attract global talent. One key measure has been maintaining stable and affordable tuition fees over the years. Compared to countries like the U.S., the U.K., Australia, or Canada, university tuition in France remains significantly lower.

Despite affordable costs, France consistently ranks 7th among the most popular study destinations worldwide, thanks to its high-quality education system. For students interested in business studies, France offers an abundance of financial aid options and dynamic business ecosystems that foster professional development, making it an ideal destination for such pursuits.

In addition, policies supporting student employment and opportunities for post-graduation work further enhance France's appeal. As a result, it’s no surprise that France remains a top choice for international students, with application numbers rising by 3% this year compared to last year.
