Higher education
Confirmed enrollment fee amounts for foreigner students
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The amounts of tuition fees (tuition fees) in public higher education for foreigner students in will remain the same as in 2019 and at a different amount from that paid by French, European or already resident students in France. A decree was issued in Official Journal of 26 June 2020. When asked to rule on the differentiated amounts of these costs, the Conseil d'État held that they did not oppose the constitutional requirement of free of charge aimed at ensuring equal access to education.
These amounts shall be fixed in particular at:
- €2,770 for national diplomas of the bachelor's degree cycle;
- €3,770 for national master's degrees;
- €3,770 for the engineering degree (3-year engineering cycle).
When a student prepares several diplomas in the same institution, he or she will fulfill the 1era full-rate and other reduced-rate entries. These reduced-rate fees shall be fixed in particular at:
- €1,846 for national diplomas of the bachelor's degree cycle;
- €2,513 for national master's degrees;
- €2,513 for the engineering degree (3-year engineering cycle).
FYI
Several associations, student unions and individual applicants had asked the Conseil d’État to annul the interministerial decree of 19 April 2019 fixing those fees for foreigner students at a different amount from that paid by French, European or already resident students in France. The Council of State ruled in its decision of 1er July 2020 that these higher education fees do not preclude equal access to education in France because these students have access to exemptions and support. Moreover, these students who have come to France especially to train there are not in the same situation as students whose vocation, whatever their geographical origin, is to establish themselves permanently in France.
