The higher education scenario in France has undergone significant changes over the past decade, placing universities at the forefront of the country's educational and research framework. The French government has recently pledged to further enhance this transformation by granting greater independence, increased funding, and a pivotal role in the national research strategy to French universities. Students opt for France due to the exceptional quality of education, the nation's vibrant cultural milieu, and abundant opportunities for scholarships and fellowships.
Furthermore, in an effort to enhance international accessibility, recent initiatives have focused on offering more programs delivered in the English language. Universities continue to expand and assume greater responsibility within the higher education landscape. A prime illustration of this progression is exemplified by PSL University, established a decade ago, and now an influential institution in both the French and global academic spheres, with Ecole Normale Superieure as one of its founding members.
