Applying to École de communication visuelle (ECV): your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into École de communication visuelle (ECV)?
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 École de communication visuelle (ECV) 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 school asks for, and submit the file on time. We then follow the application with École de communication visuelle (ECV) and tell you what the school asks for next. If the school invites you to an interview, we prepare you for it. École de communication visuelle (ECV) makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to École de communication visuelle (ECV) 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. Private schools such as École de communication visuelle (ECV) usually add an interview, and for a Master’s they look at how your first degree connects to the subject. 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.

For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, École de communication visuelle (ECV) asks for IELTS 5.5 or TOEFL iBT 72 or TOEIC 785 (level B2), depending on the programme.
