At FAST-NUCES, our growing network of French academic partners continues to create new pathways for students to explore study, exchange, and higher-education opportunities in France. Through partnerships with leading institutions including CESI – Centre des Études Supérieures Industrielles, EPITECH – École pour l’Informatique et les Nouvelles Technologies, École Centrale de Nantes, Polytech Nantes, IMT Atlantique, and ESDES – École Supérieure pour le Développement Économique et Social, FAST-NUCES students are increasingly gaining access to international academic opportunities and greater exposure to the French higher-education landscape. Building on these opportunities, the International Education Office (IEO) organized an insightful session for FAST-NUCES students at the Lahore Campus, with Mir Hamza Khan Khattak, Manager, and Momin Ahmed, Officer, Campus France Pakistan, bringing students closer to the possibilities of pursuing higher education in France. The session introduced students to the Études en France (EeF) portal, providing guidance on applying to French higher-education institutions and navigating the application process. Students were also guided on admission procedures, application and documentation requirements, visa requirements, and scholarship opportunities in France. From understanding the French higher-education system to preparing a competitive application, the session offered students practical insights to help them take their next step with greater clarity and confidence. At IEO, we believe that every international partnership should translate into meaningful opportunities for our students — bringing the world closer to them and helping them take their academic journey beyond borders.
