Answers to all your questions
FAQ
Programmes, funding, accommodation, student life… We can answer all your questions about studying in France on INSEEC campuses.
Do I need a visa to study in France?
If you come from a member country of the European Union, you do not need a visa. You have free access to France, whatever the duration of your studies.
If you come from outside the European Union, you will need to go through a regulated process and obtain a visa to study in France. This is done through the cooperation and cultural action department of the French embassy.
What level of French do I need to study at INSEEC?
To follow a post-bac course in France, you need to have a B2 level, which corresponds to a fluent level of French. During your studies at Sup de Pub, you’ll be doing various practical placements, so you’ll need to be able to take part in conversations on general and technical subjects, both in the classroom and in the workplace.
In which cities in France can I do an INSEEC course?
You can follow a course at one of our 8 campuses located in the heart of France’s most attractive cities: Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon, Toulouse, Marseille, Beaune, Chambéry and Rennes.
