Syllabus

Programme of the FLE DESIGN (French as a Foreign Language + Design) training

This program aims at developing students’ knowledge in French and in Design, in order to apply to a Master's Degree the year after.

According to their directions, students can choose a specialty among one of the following third year Bachelor programs:

This Bachelor's degree is usually divided in time spent at school (one week out of every three) and time spent working in a company as an intern (two weeks out of every three). As a FLE Design student, you will then follow the regular academic curriculum of the Bachelor's Degree every three weeks. For the rest of the month, instead of doing an internship, students will stay in school and take French classes for the remaining two weeks out of every three.

This program allows students to continue to improve their knowledge of Design as well as their French level.

Testimonials

Testimonials: FLE DESIGN (French as a Foreign Language + Design)

I graduated in Environmental Design in China. During that time, I learnt about Graphic Design, Interior Architecture, Landscape Design, and I did internships in the Environmental Design and Interior Architecture sectors. Considering that I was particularly interested in French Architecture, I decided to specialise in French Interior Architecure. France is internationally recognized in this domain.
I found out about Autograf at a student fair in Shanghai. I wasn't proficient enough in French to apply directly to a Master's Degree so I applied to FLE Design. This program suited me perfectly as it included both Global Design Sustainable Teachings and French classes.
I really appreciated alternating between French classes with foreign students and specialisation classes with French students. Teachers are highly professional, patient and share their projects and experience with us.
