Studying in France is generally more affordable than in many other European countries, particularly for EU/EEA students. Public universities charge nominal tuition fees—around €170–€380 annually for bachelor’s programs and €243–€600 for master’s programs. Non-EU students pay higher fees, averaging €2,770–€3,770 per year, still lower than countries like the UK or the Netherlands.
Living costs in France range from €800–€1,200 monthly, depending on location. Compared to Scandinavia or Switzerland, France offers a cost-effective balance of quality education and moderate expenses, with additional scholarships available for international students.
