Everything About Admission and Scholarship in France (Part A)

As usual, get a chilled coke diet and unlock this thread:

Que: How do Masters admission and scholarship work in France?

Ans: Masters in France is usually 2 years. The first year is known as M1 while the second is
M2. You can move from one school to another after the first M1 year.

These are the steps:

1. Click this link ( https://www.4icu.org/fr/ ) to see all the schools in France. You will see about 234 schools as shown below:
2. Use the method I described in https://twitter.com/Oludeewon/status/1292099172108324865?s=20 to look for schools that offer your course. Make sure you are using google chrome so as to translate the schools in English.
3. Send email to the admission coordinator of each school about your willingness to apply for the course. Attach your CV and transcript. They will tell you any type of departmental or school funding available.

Note: No French school will ask you to pay any application fee.
Application is absolutely free. Also, anybody can apply irrespective of your class of degree. Make sure your CV is convincing enough, especially if you have low CGPA but very good practicable skills required in your field.

This is because France value skills more than a degree.
The school will inform you if you need to apply through campus France (I will explain this) or not.

4. Campus France is a body in your home country that helps you to do application and admission, thereby, making it stress-free for you. They are also involved in visa
applications.

If you are in Nigeria, the campus will help you do all your admission and visa application for 50k. They have their offices in Lagos and Abuja.

They will send the following message to you if you contact them:
'Thank you for contacting Campus France Nigeria.

Please be informed that the next application exercise to secure admission into French higher education institutions will commence next month, November 2020. To get well prepared, please check through the links below for some
useful information on how to study in France:

Do well to check all the links. But, I would advise that you do your due diligence by first checking for the schools and asking
them yourself.

Campus France will also help you apply for available scholarships in your field. They will also make sure you get the admission. So, if you don't have time, please use them.

If you are inquisitive like me, do it yourself (DIY).
Que: Does that mean that there's no fully-funded scholarship in France? How can I cope?

Ans: There are very few schools that offer fully-funded scholarship. This is because:

a. When you get to school, you can apply for CAF benefits from the Govt., where 60% of your expenses
c. You can also use campus France or the school directly to apply for CROUS. This enables you to get cheap accommodation as well as social security. For more info, read:
