The forecast for international students at the doctoral level in France indicates a gradual decline from 23.1 thousand in 2024 to 21.42 thousand by 2028. This downward trend reflects a year-on-year decrease ranging from approximately 1.8% to 2.0% annually over this forecast period.
Considering future trends, France may experience further shifts due to global factors such as changes in immigration policies, advancements in online education offerings, and the potential for increased competition from other countries aiming to attract international students. Additionally, the growing emphasis on research innovation and interdisciplinarity could influence student choices.
