Songchun,one of the first group students studying in France returned to alma mater on March 15th and shared experience about studying in France.
Majors and graduate diploma
In France, excellent fashion colleges are usually private schools. Mod'Art International fashion colleges ranked second in France.Through cooperation with a British Academy, it expanded the number of students from 200 to 500 people. The College has fashion design, accessory design, marketing management, fashion marketing, luxury goods management and other majors. Luxury Management is an promising industry. If you are interested in this industry, you can study for another two years after graduation and get a master's degree which is recognized throughout the EU.
school recommendation
Each year,College graduates have their own graduation show where many apparel companies and fashion organizations will find talents. Of course, college students will be recommended through other channels. In short, it is no problem to find a job. Usually, the school will organize students to watch fashion shows, clothing companies and talk with famous designer, which can give students many intership opportunities.
French is very important
28 lessons for a week is a bit of hard.All are taught in French except fashion history.It’s impossible to learn anything with little foundation in French. Therefore I urged the students who want to go France must lay a good foundation In French. It is also important learn major courses well which will benefit you In France.
Easy life
Transportation: There are 14 subway lines covering the whole France.You usually take the subway instead of buses which is very convenient. Students under 25 (including 25-year-old) can buy a free subway ticket(386 euros / year).
Food: 600 euros are adequate to shop in a Chinese supermarket if you usually don’t drink two or three cups of coffee per day (coffee and cola are expensive). Recommendation:buy food together and cook them by yourselves would save a lot
Accommodation: As the traffic is convenient, it is recommended that students can live in the Greater Paris (France provinces), where housing is cheaper, usually around � 300 per month.It will be more cheaper if a few people share a villa.French government provides housing allowance to students every month which ,to some extent, alleviate the housing problems of students.
Tips:
1 Buy enough fabrics,accessories and pattern-making tools in China,cause they are really expensive in France.
2 Use ocean transport when you want to send home things.
3 Apply debit card in China bank which is more convenient.
