Presentazione
Excelia First Year for French Students
Excelia First Year is a generalist post-Bac year that allows you to have an extended international experience at one of our university partners (Australia, Canada, Ireland) before making an informed decision. You will thus develop solid foundations while refining your study project and improving your language skills and international outlook.
At the end of this year, you will be able to continue your studies in the 2nd year of higher education, provided you have validated the 60 ECTS credits. This will give you a clearer vision of your aspirations and strengthened knowledge to succeed in the field that suits you best.
Excelia First Year for International Students
The Excelia First Year programme is a generalist introductory year, carried out in France (or under certain conditions internationally), which allows international post-Bac students to take time to build their path and confirm their direction within one of Excelia's programmes.
This year thus enables them to significantly strengthen their knowledge in various fields such as languages, geopolitics, management, tourism, and communication. At the end of the programme, students earn 60 ECTS credits, allowing them to join the 2nd year of a programme at Excelia: Bachelor Business, Master Grande École, Bachelor Hotel Management, Bachelor Tourism Management, or Bachelor Communication and Digital Strategies.
Designed with an interactive and practical approach, Excelia First Year alternates between courses and real-world projects to help students affirm their orientation, build self-confidence, and develop their skills.
