Prepare for your stay

CampusArt is a way to guide and to get information. CampusArt is an additional opportunity for a student to quickly obtain an admission certificate from a French institution, which will help him apply for the visa.

CampusArt does not replace the “Etudes en France” process established in most countries where a visa is required. The “Etudes en France” process is mandatory in the countries concerned. You can have both accounts: a CampusArt account + a “Etudes en France” account.
For the students concerned, you have the right to choose schools that are not connected to the “Etudes en France” procedure, that is to say which do not appear in the list of schools on “Etudes en France”: These schools are on CampusArt, we invite you to use this application platform.
The “Etudes en France” procedure is compulsory for students from the countries concerned but not for French higher education establishments. It is therefore normal that you do not find all the schools in the list of the Etudes en France procedure.

And CampusArt is free until the applicant chooses to accept an offer of admission. So there’s no reason to hesitate. CampusArt was established to inform and assist prospective international students.
