France, officially the French Republic, is a unitary semi-presidential republic located mostly in Western Europe, with several overseas regions and territories.

Courses are individually offered classes that afford higher education opportunities in various areas of study. By taking a series of classes focused in one category, students might pursue a certificate or degree in their field of interest.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
