Do I need to take a French proficiency test to study in France?

Most universities in France require international students to demonstrate French proficiency if their chosen program is taught in French. Commonly accepted tests include DELF, DALF, or TCF, with required levels varying by institution and course.

For English-taught programs, French proficiency may not be mandatory, but basic knowledge can aid daily life. Always check specific requirements with your chosen university, as some may waive the test if you’ve previously studied in French or are a native speaker.
