Study in France opportunities are expanding as France strengthens its education partnership with India and launches new pathways linked to animation, gaming and immersive technology. A new multi-year initiative called Desibel focuses on India’s Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics and Extended Reality sector. The programme brings Indian creators and professionals into contact with French mentors, institutions and industry networks. France is also targeting 30,000 Indian students by 2030. Campus France reported that Indian enrolment in French higher education reached 9,100 in 2024–25, while broader visa and residence data placed the number at around 12,000 in 2025. For students, the latest push indicates that France is positioning itself beyond traditional degree programmes, with opportunities linked to technology, creative industries and innovation. Applicants should compare programmes, tuition, scholarships, language requirements, visa rules and career pathways before choosing a French institution.
