Applied Foreign Languages (LEA)
The LEA department offers courses centered around three modern languages, and is combined with courses in social sciences. The three languages are:
- French, English and one of the following languages
- German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese.
Knowledge of the socio-economic environment of international trade, technical translation and e-commerce is an essential complement to this language training. Courses in application subjects - computer science, law, economics and management - are taught and evaluated in French. An excellent level in this language is therefore essential. Finally, LEA's teaching is divided into three thirds of the equivalent weight: English, continuation language and application subjects.
