According to a press release, the “Choose France Pakistan – Education Tour” has returned to connect Pakistani students with French universities.
This is the second edition of the tour, which will take place on October 17 and 19 in Lahore and Karachi, respectively.
The event provides an invaluable opportunity for students to engage directly with French universities. They can gain insights into the 1,700 programs offered in English at the Bachelor and Master levels, in addition to receiving information on the 183 scholarship programs accessible to Pakistani students.
The spectrum of programs covers a wide array of fields, encompassing management, engineering, humanities, finance, business, and sciences. Notably, 11 prestigious French universities are part of the delegation, including renowned institutions such as Sciences Po Paris, Centrale Nantes, and EDHEC.
This year’s tour also features the participation of four French business schools. These institutions have been lauded in the latest Financial Times world rankings, with French business schools consistently ranking at the top. For instance, the top four Masters in Finance pre-experience for 2023 are French, and three of the top five Masters in Management for 2023 are French as well, with one claiming the number one position. In the realms of MBA and Executive Education, a French institution, INSEAD, holds the top position, boasting a substantial alumni network in Pakistan.
In addition to connecting with students, the French delegates will extend their outreach to Pakistani universities. The purpose of these interactions is to explore opportunities for partnership, reinforcing academic collaboration between France and Pakistan in the fields of business and management, sciences and engineering, as well as social and political sciences.
