Learning French
Your French will have to be fluent enough to follow scientific lectures when you start studying at ParisTech – and include a certificate of proficiency in your admission application file. Make sure it has been filled out, dated and signed by a French language professor from your university or the from the Alliance Française, of by an Alliance Française or Consulate member of staff.
You can also take a 3-month course in France to improve your French (May to July or July to September) before starting at a ParisTech school.
