1. Advantages of studying in France and majoring in art
1, France has a strong artistic atmosphere
France has always been a romantic and full of artistic atmosphere of the country, for Chinese art students, is not strange. Studying art in France has unique advantages over other countries. The most impressive thing is the strong artistic flavor of Paris.
In Paris, the least lack of activities, annual large and small cultural activities and art exhibitions should be overwhelmed, more so that the city dynamic and beautiful. All of this is an extracurricular practice that not only allows students to better understand the latest fashion trends and art trends, but also allows art to communicate and integrate, bursting with different colors.
2, the French school hours are short, but cost-effective
French public universities are tuition-free. If you apply to a public school, you only need to bear the cost of living, and international students can enjoy the same benefits as French students, such as housing subsidies, medical subsidies and so on.
Take the music program as an example. The tuition fee in China is about 8,000 to 20,000 yuan per year depending on the school, and in France, the tuition fee is free. The domestic bachelor's degree is four years, the master's degree is three years, and the French bachelor's degree is three years, the master's degree is two years. Domestic living costs of about 7000 ~ 25000 yuan per year, France 30000 ~ 60000 yuan. Such costs, than in the domestic university is not much difference. Graduating a year earlier is even more beneficial to employment. In addition, after entering the professional course, as long as the language passes, international students can legally work every week (not more than 20 hours), and can work all day during holidays. Studying in France is very cost-effective because of the short duration of study and the good professional level of education.
3, the quality of education is first-class
From the trend of applying to study in France in recent years, students applying for science and technology, IT and art, music majors gradually increased. The French education sector has always been proud of the international reputation of art education, the National Conservatory of Music, the Higher Institute of Fine Arts and other international students gradually increased.
According to reports, France's music higher education institutions in recent years have also begun to look favorably on Chinese young people's basic musical skills and potential, as well as the ability to compete on the international music stage. More and more French conservatories are coming to China to interview students directly.

France is also the temple of classical music, every day, more than 100 concerts staged around the country to provide international students with excellent learning opportunities.
4. "Employment" is not a problem!
The job prospects in France are much better than in China. Many art schools will open a strong practical courses, close to the market, more interactive students, and will not be out of touch with society. Moreover, the French developed haute couture industry also provides a very good employment prospect for many art students.
It is understood that there are currently 80,000 French craft designers working in this industry, creating more than 15 billion euros in revenue. Moreover, many French luxury brands are now paying more and more attention to this huge market in China, and they are very much in need of some Chinese professionals who know both art and French, and at the same time have a French educational background, to engage in the expansion of the Chinese market. This is very good news for French art students.
In addition to returning to China to work, you can also choose to stay in France to work, according to statistics, the employment rate of French master's degree graduates can reach 90%. If you can find a job within one year with a monthly income of more than 1.5 times the minimum income in France, that is, 14,000 yuan, you can automatically get a work visa, and this visa is also a Schengen visa, which can also be used to go to other countries in Europe to work.
