Centralized admission procedure
IFE operates the same field-study-and-internship model in Paris, Strasbourg, Brussels, and Asturias.
– The online application is identical in the five cities, with the exception of language and the housing request form. Applicants are asked to indicate their first and second choice of city in their given language. Flexibility in choice of destination may increase chances of acceptance.
– IFE welcomes contact from prospective applicants who are unsure which site would be best for them and is happy to discuss and advise on this question.
– Admission to IFE programs is on a rolling basis. Students hear back about with an admissions decision within a week of submitting their application.
– Students who have selected the ’flexible’ option on the application may hear from IFE sooner, in order to determine the best city choice for them in a timely manner
– Once the student has confirmed his or her participation in the program, and IFE has received the program deposit, they will be sent information regarding the visa application process in France, Belgium, or Spain
– More information about the visa application process can be found under the section ’Applying for Your Visa’ to the left. (Spanish visa information coming soon.)
