Exams to study in France

Like any other study abroad destination, you are required to write certain language proficiency exams. This includes English language proficiency exams such as the IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, and TOEIC.

Apart from the English language proficiency exams, student applicants may be required to write French language exams because a lot of courses at the undergraduate level are still offered in the French language. Students applying for admission to these courses must take French language tests such as the DELF, DALF, TCF and TEF and submit their scores.

Students looking for admission to master’s courses must take exams such as the GMAT and GRE for MBA or MS courses.

Language proficiency exams

TOEFL: TOEFL or the Test of English as a Foreign Language is an exam international students who do not have English or French as their first language are required to write. Most universities in France accept TOEFL scores but some of them may require you to write other English language exams like the IELTS, so you must check with the university before you apply.

IELTS: The International English Language Testing System or IELTS is regarded as one of the leading tests to test the English language proficiency of international students. Some universities in France accept the IELTS scores for admission to their courses. However it is possible to study in France without the IELTS because some of the top universities in France do not consider the IELTS score, so if you are worried about scoring well in the IELTS exam, you can apply to these universities.

TOEIC: Some universities in France require you to write the TOEIC or the Test of English for International Communication. Though this exam is required for professionals coming to France and requires a language certificate. However some universities accept the TOEIC from foreign students based on the study programme they are applying for or if they wish to work while studying.

DELF: DELF or Diplôme d'études en langue française test the basic fluency in French of international students.This exam is conducted for four levels- A1, A2, B1 and B2, A1 is the beginner level and B2 is the advanced level test. The exam has four parts- speaking, reading, listening and writing.

DALF: DALF or diploma in advanced French is for students who have an advanced level of understanding of the French language. The test is conducted for the C1 and C2 levels, and C2 is the most advanced level of the proficiency test. The C2 level has two sections- the written section and oral comprehension section.

TCF: TCF is another language exam in French which tests the candidate’s ability to communicate in French. This test is for International students who are fluent in the French language and wish to attend courses taught in French. The TCF is conducted by the CIEP (Centre international d’études pédagogiques) on behalf of the French Ministry of Education.

TEF: This is one of the earliest standardised exam for assessing proficiency in the French language. It was accepted as an exam for academic purposes only in 2012. The exam evaluates the reading, writing, and spoken skills of the candidate in the French language.
