General admission requirements

Specific selection procedure

Completed applications for the academic lifelong learning programme are ranked separately. They are assessed and graded by an admissions jury according to an evaluation grid taking into account the diplomas obtained, the letter of motivation, the essay, the professional experience (including internships and voluntary work) in the social and educational field, the relevant completed training courses, as well as the social, educational, cultural, political and sporting commitments.

Registration

  1. Register online within the deadline and tick the box “VAE” (Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience).
  2. Clearly state in your letter of motivation that you are applying for the academic lifelong learning programme.
  3. Complete your application by submitting all the requested documents. Applicants must strictly comply to the instructions given during online registration.

Course organisation

The academic lifelong learning programme allows for various adaptations of the study programme giving students a greater flexibility in the organisation of their course schedules:

  • through the recognition of prior experience, students can be exempted from a number of courses. Between 37 and 90 ECTS can be validated (out of a total of 180 ECTS).
  • students benefit from personal support during their studies.
  • students are more flexible in designing their course schedules according to their needs.

The duration of the studies depends on the student’s individual situation. Depending on the number of exemptions approved by the recognition procedures, full-time students should allow themselves at least 4 semesters to complete the academic lifelong learning programme. For part-time students, a minimum of 8 semesters is required.

Note: Classes take place during the day, so the programme is not compatible with a full-time job.
