France offers some of Europe's most affordable public education alongside elite business and engineering schools. Grandes écoles, strong aerospace and luxury-industry links, and generous student discounts make it a destination worth serious consideration.

Why students choose France

  • Affordable public education: non-EU students at public universities typically pay around €2,800 to €3,900 a year, with many exemptions available.
  • The APS permit: Master’s graduates can stay up to five years to look for work or start a business under the APS scheme.
  • Industry prestige: France leads in aerospace, luxury, fashion, hospitality and culinary arts, with internships built into many programmes.
  • Student life: subsidised housing options (CROUS), student transport discounts and healthcare access keep living costs manageable.

The visa route from Nigeria

VLS-TS student visa route: after acceptance through Campus France procedures, you apply for the long-stay student visa validated as a residence permit. Campus France Nigeria handles the Études en France file; we guide you through it.

A strong proof of funds and source of funds explanation is where most visa applications fail. That is exactly what our guide The Complete Guide To Prepare A Proof of Funds And Source of Funds Explanation Letter solves, and our team walks every client through it.
