Courbevoie, west of Paris, is home to La Défense, one of Europe's largest business districts. With its towers and international company headquarters, it suits those who want to learn business French and build career connections.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Courbevoie:
Students staying in Courbevoie can reach language schools in Paris quickly by public transport.
In Courbevoie you can book courses of as little as one week. On an intensive program, one language level usually takes 6-8 weeks. A complete beginner typically needs 6-12 months to reach the B2-C1 level required for university.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Winter is usually cheaper than the summer months. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal discounts and offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginner courses may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
For long-term language study, you create an application file and attend an interview through Campus France Türkiye, then complete the visa application at the authorised centre. You will need the school's enrolment letter, proof of accommodation and proof of funds.
A Schengen visa for short courses does not allow work. On a long-stay student visa you can work within certain hour limits; always check the conditions before starting a job.
Student residences and shared flats are common in Courbevoie; demand rises at the start of terms, so book early.
Living costs in Courbevoie are close to those in Paris, and accommodation near the business district can be expensive.
Courbevoie is directly linked to Paris by metro, RER and tram lines.
Courbevoie has a mild oceanic climate with gentle, rainy winters and warm summers.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) take about 3.5 hours; the RER reaches Courbevoie from the airport in about an hour.
Because France uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Courbevoie is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
