ECV has always wanted to allow the greatest number of students to access all its courses. The year of integration was created to this end. This year is an essential bridge for students who wish to pursue their studies in a French-speaking programme. Throughout the course of the year, students are accompanied so that they acquire the fundamentals in the language and are ready to take on courses at the same level as a French student.
The French, Art & Design preparatory programme is aimed at international students who want to take part in an FLE programme combined with introductory workshops in Culture, Art & Design. In just one year, they can develop the pre-requisites needed to enter the school of their choice, and reach a level of French B2, attested by an official TCF test issued by CCFS Sorbonne.
The programme offers part of the FLE course online via Global Exam, enabling students to begin distance learning courses as soon as their enrollment is confirmed and before their arrival in France.
The programme consists of courses in French as a Foreign Language (approximately 540 hours), artistic culture (60 hours) and introductory workshops in art, design, culture and cultural activities (approximately 100 hours). At the end of this training year, students can join 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.
