I once wanted to go to France to learn a second foreign language, but I didn't succeed in the end for various reasons. I collected the following information. I hope it helps you. We can also communicate by email. My e-mail address is Steven Xie 7 12@yahoo.com.cn.
First, the cost before going to France
Let's take a student (who doesn't know French) applying for a French public university as an example, and list the expenses as follows for your reference.
1. Registration fee: 1200 yuan;
2. Language training fee: 6000 ~ 8000 RMB;
3. Language examination registration fee: 800 yuan RMB;
4. Embassy language assessment fee: 1500 RMB;
5. Bank deposit certificate: 60,000 yuan;
6. Air ticket: 5000 ~ 6000 RMB.
In addition, notary fees, passport fees, visa fees and medical examination fees are several hundred yuan each.

Second, the cost after arriving in France
Compared with studying in the United States, Britain and other countries, the cost of studying in France is relatively low, mainly including tuition, medical insurance, accommodation, catering and transportation.
1. Tuition (registration fee): French public universities implement free education. As long as they are studying in France, they can be admitted without examination on the basis of their high school graduation examination results. The university registration fee will depend on the course you choose, which is about 300 euros per year. The tuition fee of private engineering schools, business schools or management schools is about 4000 ~ 15000 euros. For example, the cost of Valle Hotel Management College is about 70,000 to 90,000 RMB per year (including tuition and living expenses). It should be said that the tuition fees of some French private universities are still relatively expensive.
2. Medical insurance: International students studying in France must pay medical insurance premium, which varies from100 to 800 euros per year according to the age and nationality of the students and the level of insurance.
France is a country with a perfect social security system, and it also has a special medical insurance system for college students. International students and domestic students are treated equally in medical insurance. All students under the age of 28, who have studied in a recognized French educational institution for more than 4 months, can automatically join the social medical insurance system for college students. Insurance procedures should be handled together with administrative registration at the beginning of school. The insurance premium of 1 year is about 180 euros. Other types of students, such as those who have been registered for less than 6 months, attend schools not recognized by insurance institutions, and are over 28 years old, must purchase a personal voluntary medical insurance from private insurance companies. According to different insurance companies and insurance projects, the annual premium amount is 150 ~ 550 euros.
No matter what kind of medical insurance you buy, you must go through the formalities at the beginning of each year, and the medical insurance certificate is also one of the necessary materials for applying for a residence permit every year. The term of the insurance contract is 1 year, so it must be purchased once every academic year.
Title: 67% Beijingers are interested in learning French.
Beijing people's views on France: 67% people are interested in learning French.
In China, although few people can speak French, most schools offer foreign language courses in English. However, according to the survey of students, more than half of them are interested in learning French, although some students have not learned English well and have no time to learn French. In the survey of adults, as many as 73% people want to learn French. The reasons for wanting to learn include: French is the most accurate language in the world; French was once a "noble" language; Learn more languages and have more opportunities; If you want to travel to France, you should know a little about the language of this country and so on.
Xinhuanet Beijing1June 17 (Reporter Min Jie Intern Zhang) On the occasion of the opening of the French Culture Year in China, at the Yall concert, the enthusiasm of Beijingers and the passion of the French people complement each other; The crowd in front of the famous paintings of the French Impressionist Art Exhibition proves that Beijingers admire and admire French artists, which makes people feel deeply. So what is the image of France in the eyes of Beijingers? The reporter recently conducted a questionnaire survey on 380 Beijingers of different ages and occupations in Beijing, including students, teachers, bank employees, civil servants, lawyers, photographers, workers and citizens.
When it comes to France, 84% people think of romance first.
China people are deeply impressed by the romance of France, and 84% of the respondents put romance first in the image of France. Professor Hua Meng of Peking University Institute of Comparative Literature and Comparative Culture believes that the appearance of an image is actually the history of a national mentality and the result of long-term accumulation, including both material and spiritual aspects. The image of "romantic France" can be traced back to 17 and 18 century's historical and geographical works of European missionaries who came to China. They introduced China to France, which attached great importance to culture and spirit, so that from a very early age, China people called Paris "flower". This "flower" does not refer to flowers, but to a romantic city.
Professor Hua Meng, who specializes in the relationship between Chinese and French literature and culture, said that since the end of 19, French literary works have been continuously translated and introduced to China. In the 1920s and 1930s, a considerable number of French students went to France to study and introduced French culture to China. The message they sent back was also the impression of romantic France. Professor Meng analyzed that most China people's impression of France is probably influenced by literature and film and television works, and saw the romantic feelings of the French from the novels of French writers such as Balzac, Hugo and Dumas. This impression accumulated in China's collective imagination of French society will also affect the new generation in China.
The French don't think China thinks they are romantic. Professor Hua Meng, who studied in France for four years and obtained a doctorate from Sorbonne University in France, believes that French people generally don't use this word to summarize their national character. Some officials even think that romance is not in line with France's national conditions, and they hope to more accurately position France as a country with advanced technology and economy and innovative ability. Therefore, the French also hope to change the traditional image of France with the help of the French Culture Year, trying to make the people of China more deeply appreciate the diversity of French society and culture and show a creative and modern France to the audience in China.
68% of China people want to travel to France, and 36% of students want to study in France.
According to the survey, 68% of Beijingers want to travel to France, and Paris ranks first (57%) among the most wanted French cities. Orfila, who studied in France as a teenager, had a soft spot for French culture. She said that because she often went to France and stayed in France for four years at the longest, she deeply realized the kind of "cultural enjoyment" that France brought to her and truly realized the romance of the French. As an employee of Bank of China, Orfila was first sent to work in Paris on 1990. At that time, she was deeply impressed by the cultural background of this country. Talking about French life, Orfila said that China people attach great importance to the quality of life. "What they pursue is inner peace and spiritual needs."
A survey of middle school students shows that 36% of them have the intention to study in France, and most of them know little about French universities. Only 65,438+05% people know Paris Teachers College, and quite a few students can't name French universities. The French Higher Education Exhibition will be held in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Nanjing, Xi 'an and other cities in late June, with 5438+00, hosted by the French Agency for International Cooperation in Education, and will gather dozens of colleges and universities in France to publicize for China university students, so as to provide excellent university students in China with opportunities to study in France. At the same time, in order to increase the number of French students studying in China, a plan aimed at facilitating outstanding French students to enter French universities for preparatory studies will also be launched. By then, 100 graduates from key middle schools in big cities across China will enter the preparatory classes of universities directly under the jurisdiction of the best 12 middle schools in France.
43% people think that there are similarities between Chinese and French cultures in a long history.
According to the survey, 43% people think that there are similarities between Chinese and French cultures in a long history, and 40% people think that "cultural diversity" is the common feature of Chinese and French cultures. Professor Meng believes that China and France are representatives of various cultural types in the East and the West, and French culture can be said to be the closest to China among western countries. First of all, both countries are big civilized countries with a long history and splendid culture. Secondly, both French and China people like the word "love". She said that Chinese people attach great importance to social relations, which is even worse than China. Third, there are similarities in cultural diversity between the two countries. France has laid the French spirit of "freedom, equality and fraternity" since the Great Revolution in 1789. Historically, France has absorbed the essence of many cultures, including China culture. France has absorbed the cultures of various countries and strengthened the cultural diversity.
The survey also found that the favorite French writer of Beijingers is Hugo (54%); Favorite star is football player Zidane (51%); Among the French keywords that Beijingers are most familiar with, the top three are Pierre Cardin (90%), Cannes (88%) and Carrefour (72%). But only 14% people know that Ariane rocket, which represents French space technology, seems to have a long way to go to establish the image of French technology in the eyes of Chinese people.

At present, I graduated from junior college and am teaching myself English. My second foreign language is French. If all goes well, I can graduate in June 2002, but I won't get my bachelor's degree until 2003, and I have to wait another year. I am eager to study in France in September 2002. Do you think you can apply for an invitation to the university on my terms? Can I study in France next September?
I think so. Now that you have learned French well, you still have a lot of time. Then you can take the TEF study abroad exam and find an insurance agent. No problem, but the longer you wait, the harder it will be to get a visa.
My last education was in high school, with a certificate of jewelry appraiser and an admission notice from Harbin TV University. Please help us to refer to how to go to France as soon as possible and save money.
It's good to have a notice. If you apply yourself, it will be more troublesome. If so, you'd better find an intermediary, but you can contact the university yourself.
The first step to study in France now is not to find a university. Because French is not good, there is no way to find a university. You must learn French well first. So you can find any university to get an admission notice, get a visa, go to France to study French, and then apply for a university. If you don't have a university degree in China, you must join the TELF or TALF organized by the French Ministry of Education before you can formally apply for a university. If you have a university diploma in China, you can apply for admission directly. This is what we do here. I studied French for a year before I thought about looking for a university, so it is too early to think about it now.
What bothers me at present is mainly the problem of funds. I would like to ask you what is the minimum cost of studying in France? After going to France, I need to work to support myself. Can I be self-sufficient during my holiday in France?
In order to get a visa, it is best to prepare enough RMB 6.5438+0.2 million (including agency fee and bank guarantee). Actually, it is enough to take 60,000 RMB to France. Of course, this is the first year. Work is no problem, you can be self-sufficient, and it is entirely possible to save money. Our international students in France are all like this, and not many of them take all the expenses for several years at once.
☆ Can I apply for a university by myself?
! Absolutely! But you have to choose a good school, which is very important for a visa. If the school is famous, it is easier to get a visa. Also, it is not enough to rely solely on the admission notice of the language school. There must be a formal admission notice from the university. Generally speaking, universities will not issue admission notices easily. So if the funds allow and you can choose a trustworthy intermediary, I suggest that it is better to go through an intermediary (as the saying goes: spend money to eliminate disasters! )
According to the mutual recognition of academic qualifications between China and France, France now recognizes China's three-year junior college degree or above.
France
Recognition: ★★★★★
All self-taught majors and adult education colleges recognized by China's Ministry of Education have their diplomas and achievements recognized by France, but such diplomas and certificates must be reviewed and recognized by the principals or admissions committees of the declared schools. France allows those who have obtained self-taught college or undergraduate education to apply for master's courses directly, but there are two "additional conditions": they are not over 29 years old; Proficient in French.
Hello everyone! ! !
I send this post in the hope of getting experience in studying abroad from candidates! !
I graduated from English by myself, and I want to apply for ESCP in France.
The school requires proof that the self-taught degree is equivalent to at least 3 years' education in Gaopu, and whether the degree has the same legal effect as Gaopu! ! !
These are really troublesome. Where can I get such a certificate? ? And the requirements are official DOCUMATATIONS! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I really hope someone can help! ! !
Thanks in advance!
Because you want to find a notary office in China to notarize your diploma. In fact, there is no formal standard for diploma transition here. Generally speaking, as long as it is a real formal diploma in China, it should be ok. In addition, you can tell your situation in more detail. I will try my best to give you some helpful information I know.
If you notarize your education, it will be an official document. In fact, the most important thing to apply for high school is not your previous grades, because there are generally entrance exams and interviews. Try to write your study plan and recommendation letter well, they value it very much.
I see!
Thank you, but because I am taking the self-study exam, do I have to ask my school teacher to write a letter of recommendation?
I see!
Thank you, but because I am taking the self-study exam, do I have to ask my school teacher to write a letter of recommendation?
Let your university teacher write it for you.
That's terrible. Any school has teachers who teach us. After graduation, we will never find them again! !
Can you write it yourself and ask anyone to sign it? Do you have the seal of the examiner's college?

Can you write it yourself and ask anyone to sign it? Do you have the seal of the examiner's college?
Do you think it's okay not to stamp?
Hello: I want to ask the following related questions;
1. I took the English undergraduate course by myself. Does France recognize this qualification? If yes, can I apply for graduate school directly without a bachelor's degree?
I want to change my major in France. Because I am poor in science, can you recommend any liberal arts majors in France that would be better? School?
3. If you change your major, do you need to apply for a school? Is teaching in English more expensive than teaching in French?
4. Do I need to take IELTS to go to France with CET-6? How many points or more
Because my diploma won't be available until mid-September, can I stick to it until the end of the year? If not, the application is successful. When can I go at the latest?

Interpretation of popular national policies for self-taught students to study abroad (recognized by France! ! ! )
Author: anonymous source: anonymous July 3, 2005110: 04: 48
-
With the upsurge of studying abroad wave after wave, more and more overseas countries extend olive branches to domestic students. On the other hand, 23 overseas countries have recognized our self-taught diploma, which includes mutual recognition of academic qualifications and mutual recognition of credits. Therefore, in the past two years, studying abroad has attracted more and more attention from self-taught students.
Studying abroad requires planning in advance.
Because the self-taught examination in our country is strict, and most candidates study in their spare time, so few candidates can get excellent results in all subjects. The experience of studying abroad in recent years proves that self-taught students with high scores in a single subject have a greater chance of success in the process of applying for first-class universities. Therefore, if self-taught candidates plan to study abroad, they must strive to improve their test scores, so that they have a greater chance to apply for prestigious schools.
Secondly, most self-taught students do not study full-time at school, and foreign languages have not been systematically studied, so most foreign languages are not ideal. Self-taught candidates who want to go abroad but don't understand the language can go to a foreign language school, but the cost is quite high. Therefore, it is suggested that self-taught students who are interested in studying abroad must lay a good foundation in foreign languages. They can attend relevant training in China, and they can save a lot of money by going out after the language barrier.
-Relevant national policies
United States of America
Many universities in the United States recognize the course scores and graduation qualifications of China's higher education self-taught examination, and agree that graduates from China's self-taught examination and those who pass some courses are exempted from the examination or take some courses. Graduates from China TV University, Night University and Vocational College can only apply for undergraduate courses. The average academic performance of applicants studying in the United States should be above "good", that is, the average academic performance required for studying in the United States should be above "B".
Commonwealth of Nations
Students who graduate from self-taught examinations or adult education are recognized by the Ministry of Education of China and have formal diplomas, which are recognized by most Commonwealth countries such as Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. It is possible for college students to study for a master's degree according to their grades and school background, but most of them still need a bachelor's degree certificate. Take Britain as an example. There are several ways for China self-taught college students to apply for a British master's degree:
1, college graduates or college students who have worked for less than 3 years, if they don't have a qualified TOEFL score (above 580) or IELTS score (above 6.5), can go to the UK for a period of language courses, or take elementary courses after meeting certain language requirements. You can also take a one-year master's preparatory course and formally enter the master's stage from the second academic year. Under normal circumstances, such students can't apply for an MBA degree, and it is difficult to apply for most master's degrees in business.
2. College graduates with three or more years' working experience can apply for master's preparatory courses (including English courses for three to six months) for six months to 1 year if they don't have qualified TOEFL and IELTS scores, and then go directly to the master's stage after passing two or three master's preparatory examinations.
3. College students who have passed TOEFL and IELTS scores can directly apply for master's courses in British universities. But in this case, the success rate of applying for a prestigious British school is often low.
Under normal circumstances, it is often difficult for college students to complete the postgraduate courses from 8 to 10 in one year when they study for a master's degree in the UK. Therefore, some of these international students often complete their master's courses and obtain master's degrees by extending their study time for half a year to one year.
Japan
More and more Japanese schools are beginning to recognize the junior college or undergraduate degree of graduates from self-taught examinations and adult education in China. However, Japanese universities require 65,438+06 years of educational experience or bachelor's degree for students studying for master's degree. In China, it is relatively difficult for self-taught students to prove their years of education, because there is no age limit.
Germany
The qualifications of informal universities or informal higher education are usually not recognized. Unless you get a "bachelor's degree certificate", you may apply with the qualification of "equivalent education". High school graduates who are not admitted to universities are not eligible to apply for universities (including preparatory courses), and their applications will be rejected. Applicants must have a certain level of German, and generally need to have proof of 800 hours of German.
Singapore
Generally, public schools in Singapore do not recognize China's self-taught examination and adult education, while some private schools do. Except those who have already obtained a bachelor's degree, few well-known schools recognize this degree.
If you can get a bachelor's degree in adult education in the top 10 universities in China, and have more than 3 years of management experience in multinational companies, with a TOEFL score of 580 or IELTS score of 6.5 and a GRE score of more than 2,000, you can apply for a master's degree in public universities and apply for government grants.
France
China's Ministry of Education recognizes the diplomas and achievements of all students from self-taught majors and adult education colleges. Applicants with a university degree must not be over 28 years old; College degree or above, good English, you can apply for a master's degree or a doctor's degree directly. China students' academic qualifications and diplomas must be approved by the principals or admissions committees of the declared schools.
Self-taught students: popular in the United States and Canada.

2004- 1 1-30
According to incomplete statistics, in the past two years, about 385 candidates went to the Beijing Self-taught Examination Office to go abroad for stamping. Candidates' academic qualifications account for the vast majority of junior college and undergraduate courses, and a small number are studying junior college and undergraduate courses; 90% of them are under the age of 30. The oldest is a 52-year-old graduate majoring in traditional Chinese medicine, and the youngest is a graduate majoring in international trade in 18. The majors of candidates who go abroad with official seals are accounting, English, followed by computer software and application, international trade, finance, business and economic management, law, Chinese, news, tourism management, nursing, industrial and economic management, construction engineering, Japanese (diploma exam), philosophy, broadcasting, statistics, file management, traditional Chinese medicine and arts and crafts design, involving 20 majors. The countries where self-taught candidates apply for studying abroad rank first are the United States and Canada, followed by Australia, Britain, New Zealand, Japan, France, Germany, Singapore, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland, Austria, South Africa and *** 15 countries.
The following foreign universities recognize the qualification of self-taught examination and accept candidates to study abroad through the feedback and relevant information of candidates.

These foreign institutions of higher learning recognize the academic certificates issued by the Beijing Higher Education Self-taught Examination Committee, and allow self-taught candidates with academic certificates or single-subject certificates to study in our school, or to study for a degree or to avoid or reduce some courses. Judging from the information provided by candidates, Australian and British universities basically recognize China's self-taught examination, while some universities in the United States, Canada and other countries recognize China's self-taught examination. Of course, this information is not complete.
2 1 century is the era of knowledge. Due to the progress of transportation and communication technology, the world will become more and more international, and the competition between countries will become more and more fierce, and the competition is mainly the competition for talents. Professor Duan Liyang Inomura, President of Kyoto University, said in an interview with reporters at the world famous university presidents' forum that "the purpose of university education is to cultivate many talents with high-skilled professional skills, international cooperation and the consciousness of contributing to world peace. Universities in 2 1 century will face severe international challenges. In view of this, universities must attract outstanding students from all over the world. " Since 1990s, the number of students studying abroad at their own expense has increased rapidly, and the internationalization of higher education has developed rapidly and healthily in the world.
In view of this, the author thinks that China's higher education self-study examination should actively cooperate with foreign countries to expand its international influence.
