[00:00.01]France aims to bring more foreign students to its universities [00:06.38]by offering more classes taught in English. [00:11.35]French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced the plan on Monday. [00:17.36]He said increasing the number of foreigners studying [00:21.33] in the country would help build French influence overseas. [00:25.91]France is home to famous universities [00:30.06] like the Sorbonne in Paris and several leading business schools. [00:36.91]The country is a popular choice among non-English-speaking students. [00:43.51]But it ranks behind the United States, Britain and Australia [00:49.06]in the total number of foreign students who study there. [00:53.91]Between 2011 and 2016, the number of foreign students [00:59.28] studying at French universities fell by 8.5 percent. [01:04.80]The country has seen increased competition [01:08.28]from Germany, Russia, Canada and China. [01:12.46]Philippe said that in the education field, [01:17.06]"just as in other economic ones, [01:19.99] the world's balance of power is shifting. [01:23.05]That's why we need to welcome more foreign students." [01:27.81]Under the new plan, France will ease student visa requirements. [01:33.27] Student visa applications also will be available online. [01:38.87]Starting next March, [01:41.31]foreigners who have earned a French master's degree [01:44.79]will be able to receive a residence visa. [01:48.39]The change is meant to help recent graduates [01:51.66]look for work or set up a business in France. [01:56.14]France also plans to increase the costs for students [02:01.53]who come from outside the European Economic Area. [02:06.64]Currently, students in France -- including foreign students [02:11.49]– pay (about) 170 euros a year for a bachelor's degree [02:16.67] and 243 euros a year for a master's degree. [02:21.99]Officials said the low cost of education in France [02:26.77]leads students from countries like China to believe [02:31.62]that the quality of a French education [02:34.64]is lower than what other countries offer. [02:38.75]Beginning in September 2019, [02:41.84]non-European students will pay 2,770 euros a year [02:48.46]for a bachelor's degree and 3,770 euros for graduate degrees. [02:55.93]That is still much less costly than some other European countries, however. [03:02.39]Prime Minister Philippe said the costs for foreign students [03:06.69]"will remain well below the 8,000 euros to 13,000 euros charged [03:13.95] by the Dutch or the tens of thousands of pounds paid in Britain." [03:19.39]France will use the extra money to build better education facilities [03:25.08]and increase the number of scholarships for foreign students. [03:30.72]I'm Ashley Thompson.

Peaceful Power Transition Possible in DRC

法國(guó)大學(xué)提供更多英語(yǔ)授課課程

France aims to bring more foreign students to its universities by offering more classes taught in English.

法國(guó)旨在通過(guò)提供更多英語(yǔ)授課課程，吸引更多外國(guó)學(xué)生到該國(guó)的大學(xué)就讀。

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced the plan on Monday. He said increasing the number of foreigners studying in the country would help build French influence overseas.

法國(guó)總理愛德華·菲利普周一宣布了這一計(jì)劃。他說(shuō)，提高到該國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)的外國(guó)人數(shù)量將有助于塑造法國(guó)的海外影響力。

France is home to famous universities like the Sorbonne in Paris and several leading business schools. The country is a popular choice among non-English-speaking students. But it ranks behind the United States, Britain and Australia in the total number of foreign students who study there.

法國(guó)有一些著名大學(xué)，像巴黎的索邦大學(xué)以及幾所一流的商學(xué)院。該國(guó)是非英語(yǔ)國(guó)家學(xué)生的熱門選擇。但是，在法國(guó)留學(xué)的外國(guó)學(xué)生總數(shù)排在了美國(guó)、英國(guó)和澳大利亞之后。

Between 2011 and 2016, the number of foreign students studying at French universities fell by 8.5 percent. The country has seen increased competition from Germany, Russia, Canada and China.

在2011年到2016年，在法國(guó)大學(xué)就讀的外國(guó)學(xué)生人數(shù)下降了8.5%。該國(guó)面臨了來(lái)自德國(guó)、俄羅斯、加拿大以及中國(guó)日益激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。

Philippe said that in the education field, "just as in other economic ones, the world's balance of power is shifting. That's why we need to welcome more foreign students."

菲利普表示，教育領(lǐng)域“就像其它經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域一樣，其中的世界的力量均衡正在發(fā)生變化，這就是為什么我們需要迎來(lái)更多的外國(guó)學(xué)生。”

The new plan

新計(jì)劃

Under the new plan, France will ease student visa requirements. Student visa applications also will be available online.

根據(jù)新計(jì)劃，法國(guó)將會(huì)放寬學(xué)生的簽證要求，學(xué)生也可以在線申請(qǐng)簽證。

Starting next March, foreigners who have earned a French master's degree will be able to receive a residence visa. The change is meant to help recent graduates look for work or set up a business in France.

從明年3月開始，獲得法國(guó)碩士學(xué)位的外國(guó)人將能獲得居留簽證，這一變化旨在幫助近期畢業(yè)生在法國(guó)求職或創(chuàng)業(yè)。

France also plans to increase the costs for students who come from outside the European Economic Area. Currently, students in France -- including foreign students – pay (about) 170 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 243 euros a year for a master's degree.

法國(guó)還計(jì)劃提高來(lái)自歐洲經(jīng)濟(jì)區(qū)以外學(xué)生的學(xué)費(fèi)。目前，包括外國(guó)學(xué)生在內(nèi)的法國(guó)學(xué)生每年到本科學(xué)費(fèi)大約170歐元，碩士學(xué)費(fèi)為243歐元。

Officials said the low cost of education in France leads students from countries like China to believe that the quality of a French education is lower than what other countries offer.

有關(guān)官員表示，法國(guó)教育成本很低，導(dǎo)致中國(guó)等國(guó)家的學(xué)生認(rèn)為法國(guó)的教育質(zhì)量低于其它國(guó)家。

Beginning in September 2019, non-European students will pay 2,770 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 3,770 euros for graduate degrees.

從2019年9月開始，非歐盟學(xué)生每年需要支付2770歐元的本科學(xué)費(fèi)，和3770歐元的碩士學(xué)費(fèi)。

That is still much less costly than some other European countries, however. Prime Minister Philippe said the costs for foreign students "will remain well below the 8,000 euros to 13,000 euros charged by the Dutch or the tens of thousands of pounds paid in Britain."

然而這仍然比其它一些歐洲國(guó)家要便宜得多。菲利普總理表示，外國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)費(fèi)“仍然比荷蘭收取的8000歐或是英國(guó)的數(shù)萬(wàn)英鎊便宜得多。”

France will use the extra money to build better education facilities and increase the number of scholarships for foreign students.

法國(guó)將會(huì)利用這些新增資金建設(shè)更好的教育設(shè)施，并增加外國(guó)學(xué)生的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金數(shù)量。
