Every year, Study in France helps thousands of students from all over the world prepare their stay in France.
Who’s behind Study in France?
In 2011, Adrien and Théo moved to Australia for a year. Visa, host family, job and paperwork: they found every resource they needed on a community website, australia-australie.com.
A few years later, an Erasmus in Madrid and Krakow reminded them just how complicated arriving in a new country can be. In 2020, they launched Study in France: the community website for international students in France.

How is Study in France funded?
Study in France comes in two parts: a website and an app. On the website, you’ll find our guides, the housing section, student associations and loads of resources, all free to access. Access to the Student Hub costs €30, which lets us self-fund the app and stay independent.

Frequently asked questions
What is Study in France?
A 100% independent community platform, created by and for international students in France. You’ll find guides, a housing section, a student associations section, a blog to keep up with the news, and the Student Hub, our app that supports you through your preparations.
And on top of that, our team of community helpers answers all your questions ✌️
Who is Study in France for?
Study in France is a platform built first and foremost for international students, however long they’re staying.
Our resources are also open to everyone involved in welcoming students to France: schools, universities and student residences, among others.
Who founded Study in France?
Adrien Cornée and Théo Debroize, two former international students. After a year in Australia in 2011, then an Erasmus in Madrid and Krakow, they came home and decided to create a community website for students coming to France.
In 2020, they launched Study in France with one goal: bring together, on a single website, all the resources and advice international students need. Discover their story.
So, do I have to pay for Study in France?
The website is free: guides, blog, housing section, open to everyone, no strings attached.
Only our app, the Student Hub, is paid: €30, one-off, enough to self-fund the platform. The rest of the website is funded by our partners: schools, universities and residences.
How do you write your guides?
The idea is simple: we give you the same advice we’d give our best friend landing in France for the first time.
When we write a guide, we always start from reliable sources like the French public service website, Campus France and other official bodies, then add our own experience and that of other students.
When we recommend a solution, it goes through our internal selection grid: quality of service, the brand’s online reputation, cost, and ability to support an international audience (multilingual website, international customer service). Being free weighs heavily in the score, because we know how hard it is to make a student budget work.
Important: no favoritism for partners. We care about our independence and the trust you place in us: on Study in France, a partner is never recommended because they paid.
I’d like to support the project. How can I get involved?
