Accessible after completing secondary or higher education, this one-year program allows participants to acquire a sufficient level of proficiency in both written and spoken French, as well as the necessary cultural and theoretical background and fundamental audiovisual skills to continue their studies.
Completion
You will be assessed throughout the program. The level of French proficiency will be validated by taking the Diplôme d’études en langue française (DELF) exam, which is intended to confirm at least a B2 level.
Further Studies
At the end of the program, if your language proficiency allows you to follow French-taught courses alongside native speakers without difficulty, you can apply to one of the EICAR Bachelor’s or Master’s professional programs. These programs train you in the fields of image, sound, writing, directing, audiovisual production, animation, editing and post-production, as well as special effects.
