Studying in France in English: An Overlooked Opportunity

Studying in France in English: An Overlooked Opportunity

When thinking of France, most people naturally assume studying means studying in French. However, more and more French universities and schools now offer fully English-taught programs in high-demand fields such as management, engineering, communication, and IT. This is an ideal option for Tunisian students who are more comfortable in English — or who aim for an international academic environment.

English-Taught Programs in High-Demand Fields

Today, over 1,500 programs taught entirely in English are available in France, particularly in the following fields:

  • Management, Finance, Marketing
  • Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
  • Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Energy
  • International Relations, Political Science
  • Hospitality, Tourism, Luxury Management

These programs are offered by public universities, top-tier Grandes Écoles, and specialized private institutions, leading to Bachelor’s, Master’s, or MBA degrees.

A French Environment, An International Language of Instruction

Studying in English in France gives you the best of both worlds:

  • Courses are delivered in English with internationally adapted teaching methods
  • You live in a French-speaking environment, helping you learn French daily
  • You enhance your CV with bilingual skills that are highly valued by employers

It also opens the door to international careers, as many programs include internships, double degrees, or study abroad opportunities.

A Real Opportunity for Tunisian Students

For Tunisian students who hesitate due to limited French proficiency, these programs are an excellent alternative. You can:

  • Start your studies in English and gradually learn French while living in France
  • Make the most of your existing English skills from school or private training centers
  • Obtain a globally recognized degree valid in Europe and beyond

At Edufrance, we support dozens of students each year in this type of academic path — especially in business schools, engineering institutes, and design programs.

Prepare for Your English Proficiency Test with Edufrance

To apply for these programs, a certificate of English proficiency is usually required (IELTS, TOEFL, Duolingo English Test, etc.).

Edufrance helps you succeed with:

  • Preparation courses led by expert instructors
  • Exam simulations to practice under real conditions
  • IELTS test booking via our partner British Council
  • Remote access to the Duolingo English Test if accepted by your target school

In Summary

Studying in France doesn’t necessarily mean studying in French. English-taught programs are a great opportunity for Tunisian students who want to pursue a high-level academic experience while staying connected to the international world.
