What documents and grades do you need to study in France?
A French application goes through the Études en France platform: you upload the documents, sit the Campus France interview and then apply for the visa. French-taught programmes require at least B2, proved by DELF, DALF or a TCF/TEF test. Certified French translations of the attestat and the grades are required. English-taught programmes exist too and ask for IELTS or TOEFL.
Bachelor’s
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
Language year
The attestat itself is usually enough, but French at B2 is not optional: many Uzbek applicants take a one-year FLE language course first. With a B2 certificate in hand you can apply straight to year one of the licence.

Minimum grades and years of school

French admission rests on a secondary diploma that gives access to higher education in the country that issued it, rather than on a year count — which is what the attestat does in Uzbekistan.
3.5 on the Uzbek 5-point scale
An indicative attestat average. French universities weigh the school record and the Campus France interview together.

Master’s
A French master takes a completed bachelor degree through Études en France. French-taught programmes ask for B2 and often C1; English-taught ones for IELTS 6.5. The documents are the diploma, transcript, a CV, a separate motivation letter for each choice and certified French translations. The Campus France interview is part of the procedure.
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
Straight into the first year
A completed bachelor degree lets you apply directly; no bridging year, though a French-taught programme still needs B2–C1.
