What to know before applying

This is a private school: tuition fees are borne by students, and it is important to check, for each programme and each campus, the exact level of degree recognition (visa d'État, titre RNCP, grade) as well as the possibility of work-study (alternance). Admission is based on application file, portfolio and interview.
