Higher education in France is usually divided into two main types of
institutions: Universities and Grandes écoles. Universities are public and
free and offer Bachelor, Master, and PhDs.
Grandes écoles can be public or private. What distinguishes them is that
students cannot simply apply to study there after high school. They first
must prepare for a very competitive entrance examination for two or three
years. Students who are admitted will then study at the Grande Ecole for a
