France questions we get asked in Kolkata
What is Campus France and is it compulsory?
Campus France runs the "Études en France" procedure that Indian students must complete before booking a French student visa appointment. It includes an interview about your study plan. It is compulsory and adds several weeks, so factor it into your timeline.
Do I need French to study in France?
Not for admission to English-taught programmes at schools like PSB Paris or ICN. You will need French for part-time work, internships and daily life, and some employers expect it, so starting French early is worthwhile.
Can I stay in France after my degree?
Master's-level graduates can apply for the APS temporary residence permit to look for work. Conditions and duration change periodically, so confirm the current position with us rather than relying on older guidance.
