Deepen their knowledge of all businesses (including emerging professions);
Enhance dialogue within the educational community and make orientation a common working object in the design of the course and the development of interdisciplinary projects;
Getting to know the local economy by developing partnerships with various parties of the society to provide better information for students.
Facilitate and develop exchanges between the School and the world economic players by local agreements to give students the most suitable to their needs information.

STUDY IN FRANCE

For the quality of its higher education

Accessible to all and one of the best in the world: the French higher education

The excellence of French higher education is widely recognized throughout the world. Whether in the rankings of Shanghai, those in the Financial Times, the Times or the European Report on Science & Technology of the European Commission, French institutions are always in the foreground.

For the international outlook of higher education

French higher education receives more than 278 000 international students.

Fifth economic world power, France is now third in the world for hosting international students. It has always had a policy of equal treatment of French and foreign students. Examples: the registration fees are the same for everyone and fixed for national diplomas by the government, and all students have the same social rights, irrespective of their origin (social security, housing assistance).

For the contemporary French culture

France is resolutely anchored in its time and its artists, established and recognised in all fields.

For the art of living in France

For 5 years, the ranking of the International Living Association has placed France among the top countries in terms of quality of life (No. 1 in 2010)

For the dynamics of the French economy

France is the 5th largest world economy. It contributes 5% of world GDP and 6% of commercial trade in the world.

France is an attractive country for investors. It is the first host country for FDI in Europe and the 2nd in the world.

For the fellowship Excellence-Major

The Excellence-Major scholarships are awarded on criteria of excellence to foreign graduates from the network of French schools around the world to come and pursue their higher education in France. This device, funded by the AEFE (Agency for French Teaching Abroad) and MAEDI (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development), is part of the cultural diplomacy and helps promote French higher education.

THE ORIENTATION SPACE

The Center for Knowledge and Culture (CKC) at Lycée Victor Hugo has an “Orientation Space”. A small round table allows students looking for a job to comfortably consult books, brochures and other media dedicated to the orientation and renewed regularly, and also to think about their future.

For younger high school students who are just beginning the process, the Inforizon software provides tests and business records at hand. Older students can use the GPO3. Those who are already looking at the multitude of choices offered in higher education in France, can find an efficient and up to date tool: the CIDJ filings in digital format.

To guide and help you in this process, please contact the Coordinator for Resourses in Information and Organisation (CRIO) of the establishment: Aurélie Vieux (aurelie.vieux18@gmail.com)
