Mobility support
Our school offers a range of language courses: Italian, English, Spanish, Dutch and French (for non-native speakers).
We are committed to helping our outgoing students achieve the level required in the target language of their host institution.
The language level (according to the CEFR - Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) required to take our courses is B2, or possibly B1 for internships: in this case, incoming students are strongly advised to take courses in ‘French as a Foreign Language’.
Incoming students can benefit from training in ‘French as a Foreign Language’ (FLE) for the duration of their mobility. Activities are conducted in small groups, which are as homogeneous as possible
Students meet with the professor in charge of organising FLE training to determine their skills and needs, and are then placed in the appropriate level.
FLE is organised into modules (UE) of 120 periods, from beginner level (UE1) to intermediate level (UE6), either intensive (20 periods per week) or semi-intensive (12 periods per week). UE (40 periods) for advanced students (oral, written, language in context) are also offered, covering 4 or 8 periods per week.
The EAFC organises these courses every year and has extensive experience in welcoming and training non-French-speaking students.
For students who already have an advanced level, B2 or ‘native’ (C), and who wish to deepen their knowledge in a targeted manner, there are opportunities for advanced training in French language skills, either in person or via e-learning through our FramOnLine platform. The modules consist of 120 periods.
These options are, of course, also suitable for staff mobility.
In addition, the European OLS grants are a major asset for learning and/or refresher courses.
Our school encourages student participation with a view to optimising the curriculum.
An active Student Council therefore serves as an interface between the various student groups and the Management.
For IN mobility students, the international relations coordinator welcomes and informs them, but also directs them to the Student Council so that their peers can provide all the practical explanations about student life, local life, social life and the practical aspects of the curriculum. This is done with the aim of promoting optimal integration.
Every year, various celebrations and events are organised for and with the active participation of our students. For example: Teachers' Day, socio-cultural events, interactions between departments for an international meal, investment in community projects, participation in local initiatives, participation in fundraising projects for medical research, etc.
Mobility participants can of course take advantage of these events and actively join in, again with a view to integration and participation in academic life.
The Facebook groups and pages linked to our School relay these activities in a timely manner: FB page, FB profile, (closed) group of former Bac Educ students.
In addition to the aspects already mentioned (integration, language support, etc.), the EAFC is keen to integrate all participants into the best possible environment and with the best possible support.
Here are some examples:
ground floor premises accessible to people with reduced mobility
teacher trained in sign language (sign language interpretation for visually impaired people)
inclusion unit that takes charge of and compiles follow-up files with reasonable adjustments (particularly for all ‘dys’ disorders)
coaching unit with individualised administrative, educational and psychological support. The unit liaises with the Public Social Action Centre as needed
educational support workshops to reinforce different subjects or skills
Staff association that provides financial support for academic projects and students with limited means
Which categories of students are considered AMO?
Students receiving a scholarship from the Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles during the current year of mobility or the previous year
Students from low-income backgrounds during the current year of mobility or the previous year (who are receiving or have received a TIL, Limited Intermediate Rate)
Students who receive social integration income (registered with a CPAS, Public Centre for Social Action)
Students with the status of close carer
Students with an employment contract outside of school holidays (students working more than 475 hours per year, in the current year of mobility or the previous year, are eligible)
Students who are single parents and who are travelling with one or more children who are not yet in compulsory education
Students with special needs whose personal physical, mental or medical conditions are such that their participation in the project would not be possible without additional financial support
