Provence, in south-eastern France, is a region that has inspired artists with its lavender fields, historic towns such as Aix-en-Provence and Avignon, and Mediterranean light. Calm and sunny, it is ideal for combining French study with culture.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Provence. Language schools in Aix-en-Provence and other towns in the region, and programs at international schools, are among the options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short holiday course, 3-6 months for everyday communication, and usually 9-12 months for a university application. At most schools, courses can be extended week by week.
Fees vary from school to school: university language centres and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is usually enough. For programs requiring a national visa, plan your application 3-4 months ahead to allow for appointment waiting times.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a Schengen visa for up to 90 days and a long-stay student visa for longer programs. The Campus France process takes time, so plan your application early; NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents.
