Research in France

Five broad subject areas, 55 individual subjects, more than 1,750 institutions, about 100 countries, 79,000 programmes analysed... This is the context of the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025. And in this new ranking by subject, France is improving its position! With 80 institutions ranked, seven more than in 2024, France keeps its rank, both at European and international scales.

Time to speak out! The “Semaine de la langue française et de la Francophonie” (Week of French language and Francophonie), the event for words lovers, focuses from 15 to 17 March on the subject “Prenez la parole” (Speak Out). A way to encourage everyone to speak out and create, in French of course! The highlight of the week is 20 March, the International Francophonie Day, organised on the theme of education.

To mark International Women’s Rights Day on 8 March, the French Ministry for Gender Equality has chosen to promote existing initiatives under the Toutes et Tous Egaux (All Equal) interministerial plan, based on three pillars: actions to promote equality in the workplace, dissemination of a culture of equality, and promotion of women’s health. And these actions will affect, each in their scale, the higher education environment.
