[@Miziskandar]

Thank you so much for this video. You don’t know how much this helped me understand everything I need to know before applying for Masters program in France. The points are clear and I could easily make a thorough checklist on the application process and steps. Hopefully to coming back here when I finally got in!

this was so helpful!! Especially with regards to the high school diploma thing.....Thank you :) And the last part about the cost was a good tip too!

[@brotherstevenuche1490]

Great Job gal. I love your videos... I am a PhD track student in France. Fed schools, waive the 3770euros for non- EU students if they apply for an exemption( only 10% of admitted students). The exemption will be based on academic excellence and social criteria.... But there are lots of schools that go with the 243 euros, which is the same as the registration fee for EU students.

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

Ahhh thank you for the compliment ! I'm glad my vids are interesting ☺️ And that's perfect ! Thank you for that clarification ! I was pretty sure that not all schools were charging €3700 😂

I applied this year for Master's program and so relate! I missed out on the Sorbonne because I couldn't get my high school diploma (that I didn't have so had to order) and wouldn't give me a leeway because it was taking time due to another lockdown here! And all the e-candidate accounts and writing the same information in each!! 😴😴

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

Oh no ! 🥺 I got through the application process for the Sorbonne but then they wanted me to come for a test in France and I was like.... But.... That's 1500$ in flights !? Because it's such a known school I think they have to be super strict with the process to weed out as many candidates as possible 😕 for my e-candidate accounts I think I kept a word doc with all the repeated info 😂 have you been accepted into a program yet !?

[@libbysenglish]

@@Ariellelaparisienne Oh wow, yes it is not practical! You didn't need to do any tests for the school you went to? It seems scary with all the entrance exams they have for some programs rather than basing acceptance on your academic history, recommendations, motivation letter and ...maybe an interview. Yes! I got offered both Lyon 2 and Université de Paris (previously Paris Diderot). I would love to try to live in Lyon (or just outside Paris in general as I was an English assistant there) but it is difficult as I feel that I have supports and friends in Paris (the expense is the other problem!) I wish I had more time for the applications because the system is really confusing and studying in alternance would have been amazing. It is overwhelming to understand university vs private, and I hear about the elitism etc so I hope that won't be hard down the track if I did not go to a grande école or something. But also can't believe it is only 243 euros for a year!

[@Msazeeza]

@@libbysenglish Hi Elizabeth I have been trying to apply to the Paris Diderot would appreciate if I can get more information on how you applied.

Hey Ariel👋🏼 Your video couldn't have come at a better time! It was information packed as always. If you don't mind sharing, could you please tell if you managed to find a job in the field of your choice? And how good or bad the job market is in France. Also does it make a lot of difference in finding jobs with a public university degree as opposed to a private business school? Thanks !!

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

I'm so glad ! ☺️ SO... For the detailed response to these questions, I have 2 dedicated videos : How I found a job in 30 days : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioWup5yvltCNisk Private vs. Public school explained : kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6G4dp-JotermLc BUT for the short answer.... I didn't find a job in my field (I was looking for the job during peak of covid in France so English jobs were very limited) but I still found something I love ☺️ and in my opinion and experience, private schools in France are not worth the money 😬 but if you want to hear about like my full experience and stuff, definitely check out the video ☺️ I hope this answer was still kind of helpful 😆

[@easyengineering9134]

Hey Ariel, I'm a bit confused. Just as you I'm trying to study in France for two years to later on apply for naturalisation. Now if I choose a M1 program does that mean that my studies will be two years long, or at the end of the first year do I need to apply all over again for my M2 program (having to go through that process again sounds scary)?

[@kaotheraissa]

This is really helpful! I’m a french citizen, and speak fluent French but I grew up in the UK and so I struggle with french writing. Is there any leeway on that? Did you find they were very harsh with grading regarding french writing?

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

There was definitely a bit of leeway but not tooooo much.

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

On my exams they were very understanding, but for essays that I had time to correct at home, I had to be up to the level.

[@culturereport3962]

Hey there, I want to do my Masters in France but the problem is that I want to do it in a different subject than my Bachelors. My Bachelors is in Philosophy but I'd like to do a more Computer Science oriented Masters. Is it even possible to get accepted? If so, what can I do to improve my chances of being accepted? Similarly, I'm interested in naturalization so I'm looking to do an M1 anyway. Maybe over the course of the next year if I build a really solid computer science / coding portfolio that can help me in my application? Any thoughts? Thanks so much for the info!

WOW! Thank you for this video. I love your channel and I am applying for my Masters in Paris now! What resource did you use to translate your degree/transcripts? I just requested mine from my University in the U.S.A. I can't find any information on the translation requirements.

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

Oh gosh I can't even begin to imagine that mess 😂 because my degree is Canadian, it was bilingual so Ive never had to get anything translated But I do know that translations have to be legitimate and through a recognized source.

@@Ariellelaparisienne Thank you so much!

[@nah8845]

Thank you so much for the video! I gather you are a Canadian, when you applied for all your programs did you have to use the Campus France procedure? As a US citizen, I am required to use the Campus France procedure. You mentioned that you had applied to like 35 programs, which is *exactly* what I want to do because I truly do NOT care where I get accepted as long as I get accepted into seriously ANY school in France. From what I understand, and I might not understand this well enough, it seems like you can only apply to seven different schools/programs using the CampusFrance procedure. Am I perhaps just not understanding it correctly? I'm looking to go starting school year 2022 - if you or anyone has any further insight on the Campus France procedure and if you are only limited to seven schools/programs or not, I'd really appreciate hearing from you! Merci beaucoup! Salut!

[@erikacarrillo9796]

Hi! I’m doing exactly what you are doing too. Yes through campus France there are only 7 options. But in his video she made me wonder about applying with other schools outside of campus France and after some research I found out that we can apply as U.S citizens directly with some schools that are not in campus France. There is a pdf form that says that if we get accepted into a school that’s not in campus France we still need to use the campus France platform for the visa process. We would then entered as student ” HDAP Allege”

[@nah8845]

@@erikacarrillo9796 merci ! Do you know any method to find schools that are outside of the campus France system ? I imagine those are probably (mostly) private schools - which is less than desirable because those are also way out of my price range. 😭 If only I were a rich kid haha

Hey! I just saw your video. Thank you for all the information. I was wondering though, didn't you apply directly on Campus France? I didn't know we had the choice to apply on the university website directly

[@kaotheraissa]

Also how feasible is it to work whilst studying? How intensive was the study? (Like how many contact hours a week etc.) I’m just worried about not being able to support myself during my masters, especially for 2 years

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

Hi ! ☺️ It depends what school you do I think. I did a journalism degree at a public school and I didn't find it demanding at all, just during exam periods. The challenge is getting a work schedule that FITS. With the public system, you have a new schedule ever week so it's challenging to find an employer who will work with that. Good luck !

[@onemomentatatime7697]

I am 50 years old. I've finished a Masters in Australia. I've lived in France and I want to go back. Could you ask your profs if a Masters en alternance is something that I can do at 50 or if I can do a PhD at 50? I've done a Bachelor of Journalism, Honours in International Studies and Masters in Social Work. I was offered to do a PhD here. I've worked in Social Work for about 10 years with refugees and was nominated for Social Worker of the year in South Australia by the Austrralian Association of Social Workers.

Bonjour et Bonne Annee!! I am always thankful for all the information you share and your videos inspire me a lot while looking for Internships. I was having a difficulty, and I needed your help. I have found an Internship in Paris, and it needs to start from Next week. However, as my student Visa expires in couple of days, my school can not provide me with "Internship agreement" without having "Titre de sejour" or Residence permit or "Attestation de Decision Favorable". I have already applied for visa renewal 3 months ago, for which I also have an acknowledgement. When I contacted Prefecture, they asked me to wait for visa renewal for around 2 months, which is not possible for me as I need to start my Internship from Next week. It would be really helpful if you could suggest me something or could help me. Thank you!

Often they will accept international students into their program and promise you amazing success- but then completely abandon english speakers when it comes time to find an internship for alternance.
