Applying to Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM): your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM)?
We start from your profile: your grades, your degree, your budget and what you want to do after your studies. From that we help you choose the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) programme where your application is strongest. Then we build the application with you, so that it is as strong as it can be: we work on your CV and statement of purpose, check every document the procedure asks for, and submit the file on time. Applications to Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) from outside the EU go through Campus France’s Études en France procedure, where each answer about your study plan is read closely, so we work on those answers with you. Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) need?
Three things carry most of the weight: your academic record, a statement of purpose that explains why this programme fits your studies so far and your plans, and proof of your level in the teaching language. Public universities compare many files for a limited number of places, so a study plan that is clear and consistent matters as much as your marks. We read your file the way an admissions team would, tell you honestly where it is weak, and help you fix what can be fixed before it is sent.
What English level do I need for Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM)?
For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) asks for IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 85 to 90 or TOEIC 800 (level B1), depending on the programme. Some schools waive the test if your previous degree was taught in English. We check the exact score for the programme you choose before you book a test.
When should I apply to Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM)?
For a September start at Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM), the application period runs from October to December of the year before. There is one main round a year, so a late file usually means waiting a full year. Start preparing your documents well before October.
