Tuition Fees and Student Budget

Tuition fees in our private higher education institutions are often more affordable than in many other countries. 

This financial accessibility, combined with the wide range of programs offered, allows each student to find the course that best matches their academic goals and career aspirations.

What are the costs of our programs?

• Bachelor’s Degree (Bac+3): €9,000
• Master’s Degree / MBA (Bac+5): €13,500
• Grande École Program (IDRAC Business School): €12,000

Specific Cases:

• CEFAM programs: from €8,500 to €12,000

*These tuition fees apply to non-European students (new entrants).
For French-taught programs or January-March intake, please contact your FIGS Education office for more information.

The cost of accommodation in France for students can vary depending on the city and location. In larger cities like Paris, rents tend to be higher, while more remote areas may offer more affordable options. Residence halls and shared accommodation are often popular choices for reducing costs. Students are advised to plan their budget carefully and explore different options to find the right balance.

You will need to count around €800 per month for the Paris region and around €500 per month for other regions.  

The price of leisure and cultural activities varies greatly. There is something for all tastes and for all budgets. You will often have access to reductions  and special rates upon presentation of your student card or simply if you are under 25 years old.  

Here are some examples to help you estimate your leisure budget : 

• 1 entry to the cinema at the student rate: around €15 
• 1 entry to a museum or national monument: free for all European Economic Area nationals under 26 years old or between 5 and 15 euros; 
• 1 entry to the swimming pool at a reduced rate: from €5 
• 1 paperback book: from €5 
• 1 theater ticket: from 10 euros; 
• 1 national daily: from €3 

Gastronomy 

In France, the country of gourmets, we generally eat three times a day: breakfast when we wake up, lunch around 1 p.m., dinner around 8 p.m. The food budget constitutes the second main expense for students, amounting  on average to 230 euros per month according to the CROUS. 

Here are  the average prices for some basic products : 

• a baguette: €1.50; 
• a croissant: €1.10 
• 1 kg of pasta: €1.50 
• 1 liter of milk: €1.20 
• 6 eggs: €3 
• a coffee in a bar or restaurant: €2.50 
• a fast food meal: from 7€
