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 doctoral 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 Mexico
Mexico is one of the countries where the Campus France «Études en France» procedure is mandatory. From Mexico, 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.
