Tuition in France by degree level
Annual fees, over the programs billed per year. The 25th–75th percentile range shows what the middle half of them charge — a more honest picture than a single average.
Why the numbers look this way: Public universities in France charge annual registration fees rather than tuition — a few hundred euros for EU students, nominally €2,850–3,900 for non-EU students, though many universities waive most of the difference. The trade-off: many programs, especially at bachelor's level, teach in French.
