Hello, the following is the application process for studying abroad:

Notarized materials—→2. Apply to university—→3. Learn language—→4. Apply for a passport—→5. TEF exam—→6. Visa

1. Notarized materials

You need to go to the notary office where you have your registered residence or where you work (show proof of work) to apply for notarization of academic qualifications in duplicate and Notarized birth certificate. These two notarial certificates are within the normal business scope of the notary office and are internationally recognized. (All must be translated into French and annotated at the end)

Notarization of academic qualifications: notarization of the school you graduated from, highest degree, graduation date, major name and graduation certificate number;

Birth notarization: notarization Your name, gender, date of birth, place of birth, nationality and names of parents.

--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

2. Apply to university

Send your notarized materials, an application form and the necessary pre-registration amount from the school to the French university secretariat of your choice; (note, it is difficult to obtain a university major notification letter for general personal applications)

This application form must contain the following necessary contents: name, gender, age, marital status, detailed domestic mailing address, contact number, and also indicate your professional further study plan and expense arrangement plan during your stay in France. The length of stay in France, personal and family financial status, etc.

After this material is sent, if it is approved by the school, you can receive the university’s admission notice and housing guarantee letter as soon as 2 weeks. These two documents are necessary when applying for a visa!

---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

3. Pre-study French

At present, the French Embassy in China stipulates that to apply for study abroad procedures, you must pre-study at least 500 hours in China (it may take 1,000 hours in Shanghai), and the 500 hours The certificate is issued by the TEF Examination Center. You may also need to take a proficiency test during your studies, which depends on the regulations of the French training center and the embassy or consulate.

(Author’s note: It is very necessary to study 500 hours of French in China. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, it will be smoother for the visa; on the other hand, after arriving in France, if you are familiar with French Not knowing anything about it will cause great obstacles to both study and life. On the contrary, it will help shorten the period of learning French in France, which will greatly save time. Therefore, I suggest that if conditions permit, try your best to do so. Learning French is better, and you cannot ignore all objective factors in the rush to stay in France)

------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- ------

4. Applying for a passport

Applying for a passport is relatively simple. At present, the domestic public security department has greatly relaxed the review restrictions on citizens going abroad. You only need to submit your enrollment certificate, notarized materials, household registration booklet, bank deposit certificate (subject to the regulations of the local public security agency) and the completed application form to the exit and entry management department of the Public Security Bureau where your household registration is located.

Of course, you may need to go to the police station for political review and verification during this period. For college graduates, they also need to go to the Provincial Education Commission Study Abroad Center to receive approval materials. This is mainly to test the length of service of university graduates in the country (according to national regulations, the national unified recruitment of master's degree is 3 years, undergraduate is 5 years, and junior college is 2 years; there is no service limit for commissioned trainees, self-financing students, and targeted students within and outside the plan) . If the service period is less than 1,000 years of service, you will have to repay the national training fee (3,000/year for master's degree; 2,000/year for bachelor's degree; 1,500/year for junior college, depending on the specific situation of each province). In addition, the Provincial Education Commission also requires a national security education certificate from the Eighth National Security Bureau and a bank fund guarantee certificate (this certificate can be the same as the certificate for passport application).

After all the materials are prepared, the public security agency can generally apply for a passport within a week.

--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

5. Take the TEF exam< /p>

This is a French proficiency test that is required according to the regulations of the French Embassy in China. There are three to four exam opportunities every year, usually scheduled in June, August, September and December.

The TEF exam is administered and graded by the Paris-based authority. Results will be announced approximately 2 weeks after handing in the paper; the passing score depends on the average level of the exam. The TEF exam is a formal exam with an international nature and is relatively strict. It consists of two parts: written test and listening test; the written test mainly tests grammar and reading; the scoring method is: 1 point for each blank, 450 blanks are counted; one point is added for correct answers, one point is deducted for wrong answers, and no points are added or deducted for not answering the questions. The total score is accumulated and multiplied by 2 to get the final score. (Author's note: If the TEF score is only used as a visa certificate, it will be enough to get an average score. Of course, the higher the score, the smoother the visa will be.)

----------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------------

6. Visa

Visa is the most critical step, and the success or failure of all efforts depends on it. That’s it. In order to successfully obtain a visa, adequate preparations must be made in advance.

First get the application form at the embassy or consulate in each region. The content roughly includes: name, date of birth, gender..., purpose of staying in France, major studied, budget for the length of stay in France, domestic work status, economy Source etc.

Then it needs to be reviewed at the Cultural Office. This is a critical step. Generally, the visa officer will ask some simple conversations (of course there may be a Chinese translator), mainly to see whether your materials are complete and what your TEF score is. (Author's note: Everyone may have the materials ready. Your ideal advantage lies in your TEF scores, so it is necessary to work hard to learn French well in China!)

The necessary materials for a visa generally include:

University admission notice (only a language school admission notice is not enough), French housing guarantee;

Birth notarization, academic qualification notarization (with French translation);

ID card, passport;

Proof of personal bank deposit (100,000 yuan, either US dollars or RMB; this deposit can be withdrawn for personal use after obtaining the visa);
