Agency introduction
First, language schools.
Language centers set up by French language schools and some universities actually have the same function as preparatory courses, that is, to prepare students for the transition before they formally enter professional courses. Although they have the same function, they are actually not as good as preparatory courses.
The so-called language school simply means to let students learn languages, that is to say, its preparation for students is to prepare and improve their own languages, so that their languages can meet the requirements before entering school. However, this requirement seems simple, but it also contains many risks and restrictions.
In addition, some universities will set up their own language centers, but it is not the same as a university. In fact, it is an independent department with various subsidiary bodies, so it can't be fully responsible.
Second, the preparatory course
French preparatory course, although you can also learn languages, language learning is only a part of its curriculum. Preparatory course is more about preparing students for majors, learning methods and psychological things.
It is not only for students to get a good grade in language, but also for students to learn some French skills that their major must have and know how to learn from them. In addition, there are not only courses related to students' future majors, but also courses that can help students better face the life of studying abroad.
Admission choice
Although there are more subjects in preparatory courses than language centers, there are still limitations in majors, that is, there are fewer types of majors and fewer choices for students. Besides, if students have a good TCF-DAP or DELF, it won't be the only weapon for students to be admitted to universities here. If you are in preparatory school and have a background of receiving education here, then students' language scores can be considered more loosely by these universities.
When students go to university, if they are admitted to a language school, they will also pre-register in universities in Germany and Austria, which does not mean that they are really admitted to this university. Students need to finish reading the language and take the corresponding exams before they can apply, compete with others and really start their professional study.
If you take a preparatory course, the students will get a direct admission to the university. Preparatory courses are generally completed in the form of language and major at the same time. After finishing the preparatory course, students can go directly to that university to study if they pass the exam.
In fact, no matter what you choose to study, studying abroad is bound to be very hard, but you should plan carefully to maximize your income. France does not require high French for international students, and most of them can go to France to study as long as they have taken the corresponding courses. But French is really difficult to learn, and many people find it in France, so it also affects graduation. If students really plan to go to France, it is best to master the foundation of authentic French first.
L3
L3 is actually a junior in a university in France, that is, I entered a professional course and started studying abroad.
There is a * * * similarity between this stage and the preparatory course, that is, students have to pass the exam before they can start their postgraduate study at this stage, and what they have learned in the course also has a designated major. Then the difference between the two is that the tuition required for preparatory courses is much more expensive than L3. However, because students in L3 stage will get an undergraduate degree after completing this stage of study, although it is expensive, it is more valuable, but L3 stage will definitely be more difficult.
Therefore, if students have graduated, they can see how their French is and then choose whether to continue M 1 or let themselves fall into L3. But students who haven't graduated, it is best to choose the preparatory course.
