For this step, you must have :
- An identity document (CNI or Passport)
- A valid email address
All you have to do is choose your Campus France space (Campus France + your country), and fill in the requested information! Easy, isn't it? 😉
At the end of your registration, you will receive a file number (e.g. CGXX-XXXXX) that you will have to fill in at each contact with its Campus France space.
→ "CG" corresponds to the Country (ex: Morocco, the file number will start with "MA")
Step 2 : Creation and submission of the application file
The application form is one of the most important steps in the Campus France procedure since it is your first selection phase.
The online application form must be completed and submitted to Campus France with the required documents within the deadline.
To prepare for this step, you must have at least :

The procedure for paying the application fee is specific to each country, but in general here are the steps to follow
- Provide your Campus France file number and your identity card

Step 4: Conducting the academic interview
The educational interview is the second step in the selection process. Campus France wants to make sure that your study plan is relevant and coherent.
