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

For students from Kenya
Studying in France isn't only for French speakers: over 1,700 courses in France are taught entirely in English. For French-taught degrees, the Classes Internationales programme (from 2025) lets Kenyan students learn French for one or two semesters before enrolling. Funding includes the Eiffel scholarship and French Embassy Kenya scholarships. Apply through the mandatory «Études en France» procedure; confirm with Campus France Kenya.
