The Herodotus programme enables artists in exile to reconnect with the worlds of art and higher education.
It is aimed at young artists who have already begun art studies in their home country or who are actively engaged in artistic practice.
The aim of the programme is to enable students to master the French language and to help them integrate more easily into higher education courses in art or culture.
Upon completion of the course, an institutional diploma is awarded. This is accompanied by the results of a French as a Foreign Language (FLE) test to determine the level of French achieved, as well as a summary of all the courses taken.
The course offers a one-year intensive programme comprising 3 hours of French (FLE) per week and 1½ hours of art history (in English) per week, totalling 84 hours per academic year, from October to April. Weekly meetings are facilitated by a student tutor. Students with an intermediate level of French have the opportunity to attend certain theoretical classes. Workshops and one-off meetings are organised throughout the year to help them reflect on their academic or career plans. Two exhibitions a year are also organised to showcase the students’ work.
