French-language requirement
French-taught programmes in France require proof of French for non-francophone applicants. This is set France-wide through the Campus France / «Études en France» procedure — not course by course. The exact level for this master's programme is decided by the establishment; accepted proof includes the TCF or TEF, or a DELF / DALF diploma. Confirm the requirement with the establishment and Campus France before you apply.
Applying from Nigeria
Nigeria is one of the countries where the Campus France «Études en France» procedure is mandatory. From Nigeria, you complete the online «Études en France» application before your student visa — it runs from the enrolment request through to the visa. Your French proof (TCF / TEF, or DELF / DALF) is submitted within that procedure, at the level the establishment requires.
People in Nigeria search this as “study in France from Nigeria”, “Nigeria student visa for France”, and “French university admission from Nigeria”.
For students from Nigeria
Students from Nigeria focus on funding and visa approval. France's public-university tuition is low, the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship funds selected master's and doctoral students, and for the visa you show a financial guarantee (an estimate of around €615 per month — confirm with Campus France Nigeria). Apply directly — no agent is required, and no one should charge a fee to apply or “guarantee” a visa.
