Why learn French in Paris?

– An immersive experience in French culture before starting desired study programme.
– The opportunity to meet other students while taking part in cultural and artistic activities at prices affordable to all students.
– It’s a great opportunity to travel everywhere! Paris’s geographical location and connections with all the major cities of France and Europe (thanks to an efficient rail network (TGV) and two airports) means you can discover new places!

If the student’s level of French requires upgrading (B2), admission is via the Study Art and French Language – French, Art & Design.
For direct enrolment in an EAC programme, students must provide proof of a B2 level or equivalent.

In one year, students will develop new skills and fulfil the pre-requisites needed to enter the school of their choice. They will reach a B2 level of French.

The programme offers part of the FLE course online via Global Exam, enabling students to start the distance learning course as soon as their enrolment is confirmed and before they arrive in France.

The courses* consist of:

– 540 hours of French as a foreign language

– 60 hours of lectures on arts and culture

– 100 hours of practical workshops in art, design and cultural activities

*The number of hours is approximate

At the end of this training year, students will be able to enter the programme for which their application was validated at the beginning of the year for one of the higher cycles in a school in the AD Education network.
