the bachelor program

As soon as you arrive, your language levels will be tested so that the different language lessons can be organized accordingly. For example, to assess your level in English, you will take the TOEIC test in the first week of term. The test result will determine your work schedule for the year.

Language classes represent a great workload. Each student will have 3 hours of English lessons a week and 3 hours of a second language. Personal work of up to 10 hours a week must be added to this.

AMERICAN CULTURE : A participative class based on exchanges on current affairs
