Why opt for the January Intake at IESA International?

IESA International, located in the heart of Paris, offers a compelling January intake option for students pursuing programs in arts, culture, and management.

This mid-academic year start provides numerous advantages that cater to both international and local students seeking to enrich their educational and professional journey.

Here are some key benefits of the IESA International January intake

  • Flexibility in Admission

The January intake at IESA International provides flexibility for students who may have missed the September intake due to personal reasons, delayed decisions, or visa-related issues. It offers a second chance to begin studies without having to wait for another full academic year.

This flexibility is particularly valuable for international students navigating complex visa processes or adjusting to new academic environments.

  • Smoother Transition

Starting in January facilitates a smoother transition, especially for students coming from educational systems where the academic year ends later, such as in November or December.

This seamless transition allows students to maintain academic momentum without extended breaks, ensuring continuity in their educational journey.

  • Integration into Parisian Culture

January intake students have the advantage of experiencing Paris during a quieter and less crowded time of the year. They can immerse themselves in the city's cultural richness at a relaxed pace, appreciating its winter charm and participating in unique cultural events like Paris Fashion Week, which typically occurs in late January.
This period also allows for easier exploration of local customs and traditions, enhancing the overall cultural experience.

  • Early Adjustment Period

Starting in January provides international students with ample time to adjust academically and socially before classes commence. This includes familiarizing themselves with campus facilities, understanding local norms, and building connections with peers who may have arrived earlier or during previous semesters.

Such early adjustments contribute to a smoother adaptation to the academic and social aspects of life at IESA International.

  • Easier Accommodation Process

Finding suitable accommodation in Paris can be challenging, especially during peak times such as the traditional September intake. The January intake, with its smaller influx of students, offers a less competitive housing market, making it easier for students to secure comfortable living arrangements and settle into their new environment with reduced stress.

  • Access to Internship and Job Opportunities

Starting studies in January strategically positions students to explore internship and job opportunities that may align with the academic calendar. This timing can provide a competitive advantage, as companies and organizations often have openings available outside the traditional summer recruitment period.
