A master's degree in France is a 1-2 year postgraduate program that builds advanced expertise in your chosen field after your bachelor's degree. You'll study specialized subjects, research methods, and industry-relevant skills, often with practical projects or internships.

What you learn depends on your specialization - options include business, engineering, arts, or sciences. The curriculum blends theory with real-world experience and offers exposure to European and global perspectives.

Typical costs (subject to change):

- Public university tuition: €3,800 - €4,000/year for non-EU students
- Private/Grandes Écoles tuition: €8,000 - €30,000+/year
- Living expenses: €800 - €1,800/month, higher in Paris

Total annual cost ranges from €13,000 - €16,000 (public) to €18,000 - €46,000 (private), depending on your program and lifestyle.
