1 - EUROPEAN EXAMINATIONS

 What does "European Union" really mean? How does it work?  What does the E.U. provide to its citizens and its business corporations?

Answering these questions requires a European approach. For that reason, we offer students a graduation opportunity inside the frame of the Fédération Européenne des Ecoles (European Federation of Schools, EFS). Those are European Training patterns of LMD (License, Master's, Doctorate) and IACBE (USA) homologated.

 A large number of private schools across Europe have joined together in order to find their way in the construction of the European Union. This move resulted in the creation, in 1963, of the Fédération Européenne des Ecoles (EFS).

The EFS is an NGO whose consultative status with the Council of Europe and the E.U. has been officially approved. Since then, over 500,000 students have been trained in the EFS schools.

In June 2002, 1,820 candidates registered for the examination sessions in 42 dedicated centers across Europe.

In 2010, this number grew to over 9,000 registered students.

The EFS was also the first teatching group structure in Europe to apply the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System).

2 - THE EUROPEAN MASTER : A POST-GRADUATE IN EUROPEAN STUDIES DIPLOMA (MASTER 1 AND 2)

This training aims to provide a European specialization to any post-graduate holding a Bachelor’s degree.

This Master's 2 degree certifies managerial skills in a specific field. It aims to develop each student's capacity to define and set up strategies in real business situations. This happens along with an internship training that enhances the student's capacity in analysis, thinking, ability to suggest, to implement and to control.

3 - TARGETS AND CONTENTS

The global target is to understand what belonging to the E.U. implies, for the citizen as well as for the business corporation. We provide all the necessary tools for our students in various fields such as foreign languages, management, marketing, new information and communication technologies (ICT), innovation, international and E.U. knowledge. Those allow a quick integration into the professional business world at high wage levels.
