I. French teaching
No matter which stage you enroll in, professional teaching is basically French, which can help you communicate with French culture more intimately and have more content and topics when communicating with your tutor.
This objectively puts higher requirements on students' enrollment, but everyone can learn one more language, which will have an advantage when they are not looking for a job or can't find a job, but when they are proficient in French, they will have a deeper understanding of professional courses.
Second, the courses are diverse.
The innovation of art is inseparable from the influence of many fields. The more you learn, the more you can get inspiration from different fields. When French universities teach art, they make full use of this influence and give students more course choices.
In addition to the basic professional compulsory courses, there will be some elective courses related to the major. In addition, colleges and universities will have close contact with other schools, exchange resources in all aspects, and students will also have opportunities to exchange and learn.
Third, strong professionalism.
Especially in some art colleges, resources are relatively concentrated, so there will be strong professionalism in teaching, targeted to improve students' related skills, and the progress of students' learning will also be taken into account when setting courses.
Even public universities attach great importance to students' needs, and there are many professional branches, all of which are very professional, which can help students complete basic and improved learning and help everyone realize their own values smoothly.
Fourth, pay attention to practice.
Art majors tend to practice, so we should not only pay attention to the accumulation of theory, but also set aside time to participate in various practical activities offered by the school, especially those related to the majors we are also interested in.
There will be many meaningful activities in daily life, and there will also be special practical classes in the course. Students will be arranged to participate in professional internships in winter and summer vacations, which can improve everyone's ability.

1. Before the interview, check and make sure that you have prepared all the interview materials.
When interviewing, you must show the originals of all the materials. Please don't worry if you forget to bring or don't have the originals of these materials for the time being. You can provide it after the interview. These materials were translated into French.
2. Pay attention to the questions during the interview.
At the beginning of the interview, the interviewer usually asks some simple questions that have nothing to do with the major. If you don't hear these questions clearly, you can ask the interviewer to speak slowly so as not to answer irrelevant questions.
Need to be reminded that the interview is not an exam, but an opportunity to give you a comprehensive explanation of your study abroad plan. For interviewers, they just want to know your education background, your motivation to study in France and the courses you want to study, so as to know more about yourself and your study plan.
3. Know how to introduce your professional background
The interviewer may ask about your college entrance examination results, so you should be able to accurately express the figures in French and mention the academic certificates you have obtained. In this case, ask some questions about your major. When appropriate, you can simply add some topics prepared in advance.
4. Show that you have a full understanding of the study courses in France.
Understand why you choose this major, school or university, the diploma you want to get, and how long you plan to study in France. You should make sure in advance that the school you choose to attend has your major.
At the same time, we should have a basic understanding of the French education system. If you want to get a DUT diploma, you should know what this abbreviation means and how long it takes to study.
It shows that your decision to study in France is well thought out, you know this study plan very well, and it suits you very well.
The interviewer said that studying in France is because French education is "free" (actually it is not), which is not a convincing reason. You can talk more about your favorite major or your first impression of France.
6. Don't recite mechanically.
Fully preparing for the interview is not to guess the questions that the interviewer may ask in advance and memorize the prepared answers, but to express yourself flexibly and naturally according to the situation.
7. Express in French as much as possible.
Even if you make a mistake, it shows your desire to communicate in French and your ability to overcome difficulties. If you really can't express anything in French, you can speak English. Don't forget that the interview is to get to know you through dialogue, and silence won't help you.
8. Show your strong interest in France and French culture.
Learn about France and get information by browsing the website of the French Embassy. Please pay attention again, and remember that the size and population of France are not conducive to interviews. On the contrary, you should know France's position in Europe first. I suggest you review your geography knowledge. At the same time, you should also know some current events so that you can discuss them with the interviewer when necessary.
In addition, if you choose to study business, you should be able to list the names and business scope of some big French companies. If you are a liberal arts major, you can discuss some great French writers you like and literary works in Chinese or French that you have read.
9. Don't forget to bring your work.
If you study music, please bring your musical instrument. You can play it during the interview.
10. Finally, keep a relaxed attitude.
