Kathmandu: The Embassy of France is organizing a “Choose France Tour Nepal 2024” education fair at the Alliance Française from Saturday, 28 September.

The event aims to provide students, from high school graduates to Ph.D. candidates, with insights into pursuing higher education in France, the Embassy stated in a press release.

Nepali students who wish to study abroad will have a unique opportunity to explore academic options in France during the inaugural “Choose France Tour Nepal 2024.” 

This higher education fair, set to take place for the first time is organized as part of the French Government initiative Choose France and it will present Nepali students with various prospects for pursuing advanced studies in France (including at the Ph.

Students will have a chance to get first-hand information from representatives of 17 leading institutions (universities, Grandes Ecoles, and colleges) about the programmes they can attend. These programmes span a wide range of fields, including management, engineering, humanities, arts, architecture and design. 

The Choose France Tour Nepal 2024 will also be an opportunity for Nepali and French educators and academicians to explore potential collaboration.
