During the last four years four French scientists have received the prestigious Nobel Prize, a signal honor for the country. This achievement reflects the high level and efficiency of engineering studies in France. Education in France is subsidized by the state and thus provides good value for money by offering internationally recognized degrees at affordable costs. In order to attract more international students, French Universities are now increasingly using English as the medium of instruction especially in areas like management, engineering, political sciences etc. For students lacking proficiency in French, language centers and special courses are available during vacation time
