As soon as possible. Wherever you intend to go, international study needs a year of advance planning. France is no different. The dates given below apply to all French institutions. Some schools may have somewhat more flexible admission deadlines. CampusFrance can inform you about these if necessary.
Make your initial contact with institutions early in the year so you'll have time to complete the application forms and submit them to the institutions in the spring. April 30 is a common deadline.
If you are seeking admission to a program that begins in January, your application must be submitted by October 30 of the preceding year.
