Biaya Hidup untuk Mahasiswa di Perancis

Shutterstock

Jika berniat untuk meneruskan pendidikan di luar negeri, maka beasiswa selalu menjadi incaran dari mahasiswa asing khususnya Indonesia. Padahal di Eropa, banyak negara yang menawarkan pendidikan murah dan berkualitas. Salah satunya adalah Perancis.

Perwakilan dari CampusFrance, Anton Hilman, mengatakan bahwa hampir 70 persen mahasiswa Indonesia yang berangkat sekolah ke Perancis berbekal biaya sendiri. Pasalnya, pemerintah Perancis memberikan kemudahan untuk biaya pendidikan bagi semua siswa baik siswa asal Perancis maupun siswa asing.

"Pemerintah Perancis sangat fokus menangani masalah pendidikan sehingga tidak perlu khawatir untuk masalah biaya," kata Anton kepada Kompas.com, Kamis (8/11/2012).

Dia mengungkapkan bahwa tiap mahasiswa berhak mendapat tunjangan pendidikan sebesar 10.000 euro yang digunakan untuk membayar biaya perkuliahan selama setahun. Beban yang harus dibayarkan mahasiswa hanya uang pendaftaran yang kisarannya sekitar 200-300 euro per tahun.

Sementara untuk biaya hidup di Perancis, Anton mengatakan tidak dapat memberikan gambaran estimasi secara pasti karena semua itu tergantung pada gaya hidup siswa tersebut. Namun perlu dicatat bahwa biaya hidup di Paris dengan kota-kota lain di Perancis berbeda.

"Tidak bisa diestimasikan untuk biayanya. Itu dikembalikan pada gaya hidup si anak. Tapi normalnya untuk di kota selain Paris, biaya hidupnya sekitar 700 euro per bulan. Untuk Paris, biaya hidup bisa mencapai 1.000 euro per bulan," jelas Anton.

Dia mengingatkan bahwa masalah biaya hidup ini dapat ditekan dengan mengajukan bantuan kepada Pemerintah Perancis yang dapat dilakukan melalui CampusFrance. Bantuan tersebut umumnya berupa bantuan perumahan dan bantuan makan.

"Jadi nanti pengajuannya lewat online akan kami bantu. Untuk tempat tinggal, harga murah juga bisa didapat di apartemen pribadi tanpa harus ke asrama kampus. Untuk makan, bagi mahasiswa biasanya hanya seharga 3 euro di restoran universitas," jelas Anton.

Tidak hanya itu, selama memiliki kartu mahasiswa maka anak tersebut biasanya berhak atas berbagai potongan harga baik dari segi transportasi hingga hiburan seperti berkunjung ke museum atau menonton di bioskop dan pertunjukan seni. Bahkan untuk mahasiswa juga mendapat kemudahan bekerja paruh waktu.

"Selama ada kartu mahasiswa, mau jalan-jalan ke negara Eropa atau jalan-jalan naik TGV biasanya akan dapat diskon," tandasnya.

Nah jika tertarik untuk melanjutkan studi di negara yang bersemboyan Liberte, Egalite dan Fraternite ini dengan biaya sendiri, jangan ragu untuk berkonsultasi langsung ke CampusFrance yang berada di kantor IFI di Jalan Salemba, Jakarta. Ini penting dilakukan agar selama menempuh studi tidak ada masalah yang terjadi.

Beasiswa Eiffel untuk S-2 dan S-3

Ilustrasi : Corbis

Prancis terkenal akan keindahan alam dan obyek wisatanya. Alangkah nikmatnya ketika keindahan itu bisa dinikmati sambil melanjutkan pendidikan, apalagi secara gratis.

Program beasiswa dari pemerintah Prancis mungkin dapat menjadi jawaban atas keinginan tersebut. Eiffel Excellence Scholarship Program adalah beasiswa parsial yang ditawarkan bagi mahasiswa internasional baik tingkat S-2 maupun S-3. Program studi untuk beasiswa ini difokuskan kepada beberapa bidang, yakni teknik, ekonomi dan manajemen, hukum, dan ilmu politik.
 
Untuk program S-2, usia pelamar maksimal 30 tahun sementara S-3 maksimal 35 tahun. Kemudian, pelamar juga tidak boleh atau sudah menerima beasiswa serupa dari pemerintah Prancis.

Melalui beasiswa Eiffel ini, mahasiswa S-2 akan menerima tunjangan bulanan 1.181 euro atau sekira Rp14,7 juta (Rp12.427 per euro). Sementara itu, untuk mahasiswa S-3 akan menerima tunjangan sedikit lebih besar, yakni 1.400 euro atau Rp17,3 juta.

Selain tunjangan tiap bulan, baik S-2 maupun S-3 juga mendapat biaya perjalanan pulang, asuransi kesehatan, maupun untuk kegiatan budaya. Bahkan, penerima beasiswa juga bisa mendapatkan tunjangan akomodasi tambahan.

Sayangnya, program beasiswa ini tidak menanggung biaya kuliah. Biaya pendaftaran ke universitas juga tidak termasuk dalam tanggungan beasiswa Eiffel. Perlu diingat, untuk pengajuan beasiswa Eiffel pun hanya dapat dilakukan oleh pihak universitas Prancis.

Berminat? Untuk tahun ajaran 2013/2014, pengajuan aplikasi permohonan beasiswa diterima paling lambat 9 Januari 2013. Informasi lengkap mengenai program ini serta mekanisme pendaftaran dapat diakses pada laman ini.
