    French Citizenship by Naturalization - Queries from a student
    Many forum qoute the following::)

    "A person may apply for French citizenship by naturalisation after five years residence in France. Exceptions to the residence period include:

    The residence period is reduced to two years for those who are graduates of a French university or grande école
    The residence period may be waived for citizens of French speaking countries or for those who have served in the French military.
    Naturalisation through residency is accorded by publication of a decree in the Journal Officiel by decision of the Ministry of Labour, Social Cohesion and Housing."

    Questions::confused:

    Is "French University" includes of French Private University? How about private college/institution which provide undergraduate/postgraduate course?

    I am currently studying in La Rochelle Business School in France. Doing two years Master course in Hospitality Management. The course is taught 100% in English.

    May I know whether I can apply for french citizenship after I have graduated?
    Do I need any proof of French Language Proficiency to apply for French citizenship?

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Rachel

    If I was born in France, would I automatically be a French citizen?
