How has policy evolved with regard to foreign students studying at French universities and graduate schools?
France considers the international mobility of students a two-way opportunity. In general student mobility contributes to the enrichment of both the country whose young people leave to study aboard, and the country that hosts these students. Admitting foreign students is an opportunity for institutions of higher education to broaden. The international mobility of students is a response to demographic shortcomings which impact the economy, particularly–but not exclusively–academic tracks in science where nationals may feel disillusioned to some extent, as is the case in most of the other developed countries. That is why France has been at pains to increase the attractiveness of its institutions of higher education.
