MARA has been sending students to pursue their studies in Engineering since 2003.聽All MARA students going to France are known as PF students.聽MARA鈥檚 scholars聽are handled by Campus France.聽The students will聽undergo the same program as the JPA 鈥楶F鈥� students. It means that they will have聽to attend their preparation year in MFI before going to France, which lasted for two聽years. However, since 2019, MARA has changed their pattern. The students are聽having only a 13-month-A-Level program in MFI and will fly directly to France聽upon completion.
To counterbalance the students鈥� performance聽later in France, they learn聽general crucial subjects for engineering, such as mathematics and physics. They also have french classes to get a strong grasp聽of聽the language. For the first and second semesters, the classes are taught most likely聽50% in English and 50% in french. For the third and forth semesters, the students are introduced to subjects that they are interested to specialize in, such as chemistry, mechanics,聽electrics, biology, computer programming, etc聽and the classes are mostly in french.聽Like any other programs, an adequate result for this program is necessary in order to guarantee that you鈥檒l be pursuing your study in France.聽
