What about France's study programs and visa durations for a Master's?
France offers two main intakes for Master's programs: September (Fall) and January (Spring). The September intake has the widest range of programs; January is more limited, mainly for business, management, and technology.
For Indian students, France now issues a long-stay student visa valid for your entire academic program - no annual renewal needed. This policy is current as of 2026 and is subject to change.
Typical tuition fees:
- Public universities: €3,941/year
- Private institutions: €10,000 - €30,000/year
Living expenses vary by city, with Paris being higher than other locations.
