Admission information
The particular institution to which a foreign student applies, first reviews the student's academic background to determine whether he/she is likely to succeed in its program. When the student is admitted, the institute sends a letter that helps the student to apply for a student visa at the French consulate of the home country.

Registration for postgraduate studies at a university is subject to acceptance of the case submitted by the foreign applicant. Whatever the formal qualifications already possessed by the candidate, admission is by no means automatic but is entirely a matter for an individual decision by the university. This being so, and since different universities' requirements governing enrolment for various courses may not be the same, a candidate could well be accepted by one university and not by another.
