On the other hand, it takes 10 to 12 years for other specialists, such as surgeons or pediatricians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medical_Study_System_in_France\"><\/span>Medical Study System in France<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, medical studies in France are divided into three courses (PCEM, DCEM and General Medicine or other specialties). It ends with obtaining the country\u2019s PhD certificate in medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Cycle_PCEM\"><\/span>First Cycle (PCEM)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first cycle is two academic preparatory years, with the same course of study for all medical, pharmacy, dentistry, nursing as well as physiotherapy students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting that students have only two chances to pass the first year. In order to pass for the second year, you must pass a competitive exam at the end of the first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the maximum number of foreign students admitted from outside the European Union is limited to 8% of the total number of students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is on the condition that the student\u2019s degree is equal to or higher than the last accepted French student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Second_Cycle_DCEM\"><\/span>Second Cycle (DCEM)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second cycle lasts four years. In order to reach the third stage, students of the fourth year must have successfully completed the second cycle and passed theoretical exams. In addition to validating all internship periods in the hospitals and participating in seminars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After their success and depending on their grades, students are entitled to follow the specialty they desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Third_Cycle_DES\"><\/span>Third Cycle (DES)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The third cycle includes two study programs: General Medicine or other specialties, both of which enable you to obtain a Diploma of Specialized Studies DES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you may complete some specialties in order to obtain the complementary specialized studies certificate DESC, which takes two years of study. Afterward, the student can prepare and discuss a thesis for obtaining the country\u2019s PhD in medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After reviewing the duration and cycles of the medical study in France, it is necessary to know the acceptance conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_requirements_to_study_medicine_in_France\"><\/span>What are the requirements to study medicine in France?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have the necessary requirements to complete your medical studies in France?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check it yourself\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure for applying to medical university studies in France depends on the country from which the student came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an illustration, no person from a country which is member in EU \/ EEA will need a visa to study. He can apply directly to the university or graduate school of his choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, students from non-EU countries need a student visa that requires them to pass through the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Campus France Institution. (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.campusfrance.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\">Campus France Institution.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first school year, the international student only needs to show his visa as evidence of his residency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he must register with the Immigration Office within 30 days of his arrival and perform a medical examination to complete the administrative procedures for his visa. Starting from his second year of studies, he must apply for a residence permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, keep in mind that the student must have a high school diploma and be fluent in the French language. Indeed, this can be achieved by joining French language courses offered by private centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, it is preferable that the student wishing to complete his studies in France starts planning to learn the French language well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tests_you_should_pass_to_register_in_French_Universities\"><\/span>Tests you should pass to register in French Universities <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the student applies to take one of the following two tests, which allows him to register in French universities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"French_Language_Diploma_DELF_DALF\"><\/span><strong>French Language Diploma DELF<\/strong> &amp; <strong>DALF<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the French Language Diploma, DELF and focused Diploma in the French language (DALF). These diplomas reflect the student&#8217;s skills in the French language. Moreover, they are valid for life and recognized in the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, they are also necessary in order to search for a job in France or in any French-speaking country (B2, for example, is the level generally required in French universities).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"French_TCF_TFE_tests\"><\/span>French TCF \/ TFE tests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, these tests assess the candidate&#8217;s proficiency level in the French language.
