French Education Day 2016 attracts students

To promote its higher education systems, the French Embassy in Vietnam organized the 2016 French Education Festival on the 8th and 9th of October in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

This is an opportunity for Vietnamese youngsters to explore the charm of France and its culture, and provide information to students who wish to study in France.

In addition to meeting the universities' representatives, students and parents can attend seminars on scholarships, visa procedures, and teaching programs in English.

This is the 3rd "Bienvenue en France” Festival held in Vietnam with the participation of 44 French universities. The training programs introduced this time are relatively diverse, ranging from engineering to political science, design, and hotel management.

“French education certificates have good quality and are recognized worldwide. Students can study affordably, since the French government pays a large part of the training costs”, Mr. Bertrand Lortholary - France Ambassador to Vietnam – said.

With their strengths, France is the country that attracts the most Vietnamese students in Europe. The number of Vietnamese students in France is currently near 7000. Each year, more than 1200 Vietnamese students study in France, and this number continues to grow.
