Do I need to prepare for the French language before going to France if I have limited time for a Master's?

No, you don't need to be fluent in French before going to France, especially if you have limited time. However, learning some basic French phrases and everyday communication skills is strongly recommended.

This will make daily tasks like shopping, transportation, and social interactions much easier. Most master's programs are taught in English, but basic French will help you adjust and integrate more smoothly.

If you need language prep options suited to your timeline, your Leap counsellor can guide you.
