France will require most non-EU students to pay higher tuition fees from the 2026-27 academic year, as part of a policy shift aimed at reshaping international student recruitment, according to The PIE News.
Under the new rule, international students from outside the European Union will be charged €2,895 per year for bachelor’s programmes and €3,941 for master’s degrees. The move ends the flexibility universities previously had to waive higher fees and charge reduced rates.
