Answer 1

Your friend is probably being scammed.

Access to higher education in France is based on merit, with many schools organising entry examination. Some schools organise 1 or 2-year preparatory schools before entering university, with an emphasis on maths.

There seem to be "bogus" private schools in France, with the sole purpose of enabling prospective students to show a registration for obtaining a visa. These schools are well known to authorities and students with these schools are usually denied access to the country.

Now for your answers:

No, bribing will not ensure admission to a university or a school of higher education in France; most universities and "écoles supérieures" have a registration process that can be accessed on the internet; and finally all cursus will be taught in French, with only part of them in English.

The best school I know for learning aeronautics is Supaéro Toulouse.
