)

Let's go:

Que: How can I survive in France? Can I save as much as I want? how?

Ans: As an international student, you can save up to 700 Euros/month by working 20hrs per week. And as an African, you can work more hours provided you can combine it with the school.

This means that with the scholarship described in Part A and your frugality, you can save as much as you want.

Que: What kind of jobs are available for students and how many hrs?

Ans: Once you get to the school, walk straight to the dept and ask them for on opportunities.

They will gladly help you. Also, remember the CROUS discussed in PART A (blog.livin-france.com/Livinfrance/ar…). They can help you get a job in a local restaurant or Mcdonalds.

Also, make sure you speak with people. They usually say that a closes mouth is a closed destiny.

Que: What is the requirement for visa application? What is the acceptance rate?

Ans: Campus France is involved in your visa application. Hence, they will make sure you have the required documents. So, the chances of getting a visa are high.

Also, unlike Germany, you don't need to have a block account.

However, make sure you are not leaving your home country empty. Remember that you may not likely see your people in France as quickly as you may think.

So, it's wise that you have some money with you that can

sustain you for some months.

Que: What next after Msc in France?

Ans: You have several options:

i. You have about a year to look for job, check : admission.buddy4study.com/study-abroad/p…

ii. You can get a PhD scholarship. PhDs are usually advertised. so you need to be proactive.

iii. If you are from Nigeria, there's a group called 'Friends of Nigeria' in France. They consist of people who have graduated and working in France. Search for them and connect. They can help you after MSC or PhD.
