Applying to Spéos Photography School: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into Spéos Photography School?
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 Spéos Photography School 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. Because Spéos Photography School is a Dimensions France partner school, we send your application straight to its admissions team and you pay no application fee. If the school invites you to an interview, we prepare you for it. Spéos Photography School makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to Spéos Photography School 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 Spéos Photography School usually add an interview. 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 Spéos Photography School?
For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, Spéos Photography School asks for level B2 in English. 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 Spéos Photography School?
For a September start, applications to Spéos Photography School are open from October to July; for a January start, from July to November. Once your documents are ready we need about 5 days to submit, the school then holds its interview, and the whole process takes about 30 days. Applying early leaves more choice of programmes and more time for your student visa.
