France

I'll be in France by late September this year, at Sciences Po Paris's satellite campus in Le Havre... It'll be my first time in the country! I'd love to be able to meet somebody from here Where will you be, Alex?

grenoble hopefully

I spent a few months in Grenoble on exchange last year (i left early though ). What university are you going to there?

P.S. You know how for UCAS you get 5 university choices, is it possible to apply for foreign universities on top of those? (I'm just assuming you don't do foreign universities through UCAS)

Didn't get what you were asking for, but if you need help to apply to French unis, I think I can help !

Cool, thanks.
Which are the best universities for languages? Is it possible to study French and German in a French university?

Well Rennes is a decent place and uni, probably the best choice you could do academically speaking.

But Toulouse isn't bad either! and it's a great city, I love it.

hii, im currently studing law and french at Queen's uni in belfast and trying to decide where to go in France for my year abroad...i have no real clue about any of the places so if anyone could give me any idea of what the unis are like or even just the area that would be so helpful! so the choices are..

Université de Rennes 1
Université de Bourgogne (Dijon) 1
Université Jean Moulin - Lyon 3
Université des Sciences Sociales Toulouse 1
Université de Caen Basse-Normandie 1

Thanks

Hi all,

I come from france & I live in Paris.. If you have any questions about the courses, the university & business schools ranks.. Do not hesitate to contact me

Just for your information krysoberyl, "Le Havre" is near the sea but the weatther is bad & this is not a beautiful city.. Anyway Sciences Po Paris is ont of the best french program

Alex, grenoble is a very beautiful city.. U'll better yourself in ski

I'm not sure you can study French at a French university, or maybe if you have French lessons for international students (it's called FLE, Français Langue Etrangère). Since I doubt any uni in France have degree taught in English, you'd better have a good level of French . If you think you're able to follow a course in French, I'd recommend you to do a Licence d'Allemand if you only want to learn German (and French of course ), or to try Licence Langues Etrangères Appliquées (but you have to pick up English + another language so it may not be very interesting for you, lol). Unluckily French unis are pretty crappy regarding International students.

Regarding best unis for languages, I'd say they all are at the same level, I've never been able to find a ranking for French unis, lol. Paris 3, Bordeaux 3 and Rennes 2 are quite good I think. You can also have a look at Lyon, Aix/Marseille or Lille, I think they're the main unis, but here's a list of all unis in France (sorry, website in French)
