FRENCH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
As lectures are mostly given in French, a good knowledge of French is highly recommended. The French Language Knowledge Test (TCF) is also recommended. The school requires all students to produce evidence of their English ability. French courses are given throughout the year (2 hours /week) at ESADSE.

ECTS SYSTEM -European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System
Foreign students are integrated in the normal curriculum and attend courses chosen with their school. They must obtain a number of ECTS credits defined by their home institution. ECTS was developed by the European Community Commission to set up common procedures to guarantee the academic recognition of studies. The ECTS system is a student-centered system based on the student workload required to achieve specified learningoutcomes in a study programme. ECTS is based on the principle that 60 ECTS measure the workload of a full-time student during one academic year. Thestudent workload of a fulltime study programme in Europe amounts to around 1.500-1.800 hours per year and in these cases one credit stands for around 25 to 30 working hours. Credits in ECTS can only be obtained after successfulcompletion of the work required and appropriate assessment of the learningoutcomes achieved. Student workload in ECTS consists of the time required tocomplete all learning activities such as attending lectures, seminars,independent and private study, preparation of projects, examination, etc.Credits are allocated to all educational components of a study programme andreflect the quality of work each component requires to achieve the learningoutcomes in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a fullyear of study successfully.
