Your Academic Pathway

Choose the Level That Fits Your Plans

The institution, programme and qualification determine the exact admission route. These are the main higher-education levels to explore.

01

Licence / Bachelor’s

Usually a three-year undergraduate route, with academic and professional options depending on the institution.

02

Master’s

Typically two years after a Bachelor’s degree, often structured as M1 and M2 and focused on advanced study or research.

03

Doctorate

Research-based study, usually three years or longer. Admission and visa routes can differ from taught-degree pathways.

Admission routes differ by qualification, institution and programme. Review the official requirements for every course before you apply.

Confirm whether the programme uses Études en France, direct admission or another stated procedure.

Practical Planning

Prepare for More Than Admission

Language Requirements

English-taught programmes are available, but not every course is taught in English. French-taught options require the relevant level of French. Check the exact requirement with the institution.

Application Documents

Institutions may ask for academic records, language evidence, a statement of purpose and other programme-specific documents. Check each official checklist.

Accommodation

Options may include student residences, CROUS accommodation where available and private rentals. Start early and confirm availability with the relevant provider.

Student Visa

For study longer than three months, eligible Pakistani applicants generally use the long-stay student visa (VLS-TS) route. Visa decisions rest with French authorities.
