Reminder of the objectives of the training and its expectations:

The LEA program is a multidisciplinary program that combines foreign languages (English + Spanish / Italian / German) with applied subjects. It offers two courses from the second year:

-Tourism (e-tourism, solidarity tourism, wine tourism)

-Business and Commerce (international trade, international economics, law)

The course devotes a large part of its teaching to professionalization with courses in marketing, business language, role-playing, etc., but also a one-month internship in the 2nd year.

The training is very much oriented towards international business as its 6^th semester takes place entirely abroad, either as an Erasmus or non-European study project, or as a 4 to 6 month internship in a foreign company.

The student who registers for this course must have a taste for languages, a good level of expression and comprehension in both languages (level B2), and an interest in applied subjects (economics, law, management). They must be interested in business, current affairs and the world in which they live.

Since 2019-2020, the LEA course has joined the "YES IF" process for students who the CEV believes do not have the knowledge needed to succeed. By declining conditional enrollment, students are declining their enrollment in LEA.

The "YES IF" pathway offers different possible accommodations, depending on the student's profile:

-Enrolment in the 1st year of LEA (ALLURE pathway) which will take place over two years (half of the courses during the first year of enrolment in L1 and half of the courses during the second year of L1) as well as refresher courses in two subjects and reinforced support from a director of studies and a student sponsor;

-Enrolment in a Tremplin or FPES class where the student will follow a set of fundamental disciplines and preparation for entry into short selective courses. The students will be made aware of the professions and will work on their reorientation.

Methods of examination of the wishes retained by the commission:

An algorithmic processing allowing essentially, from the quantitative and qualitative data appearing in the files, to calculate the averages of the notes recovered or allotted to the candidates, was implemented by the commission of examination of the wishes in order to help it in its work, and not to replace it.

This automated processing, whose parameters were set by the wish examination committee according to the criteria defined by its members, was used to carry out an initial analysis of the applications and a pre-ranking of the latter. The vetting committee used these elements in part to assess the merits of the applications.

In addition to the algorithmic processing, the committee based itself on the student's project, the study of the 1st and final year school reports (with a very close look at the two modern languages and French), and the assessments given on the future file.

The main lessons of the session and the advice or recommendations made to the candidates to improve their understanding of the expectations and objectives of the training.

The multidisciplinary nature of the LEA programme makes it attractive to students from all types of baccalaureate. However, future students are reminded that they must be well informed about the knowledge and levels expected to integrate the training, the courses that are provided as well as the job opportunities. Indeed, a large number of candidates applying for LEA are doomed to failure, either because of a too low level in one or both languages, or because of the absence of a second language, or because of too many difficulties in French. We also note that some students are completely mistaken about the opportunities offered by the course, hoping to become interpreters, translators, language teachers or diplomats.

At the University of Avignon and Pays de Vaucluse, the pre-registration and registration procedures are done online on the website, see the "Registration" section.
Please note: some courses are only accessible after one or more pre-selection and/or selection stages. Therefore, before registering, you must meet all the conditions for admission.

All the courses corresponding to the 5 semesters of study of the LEA Licence are organised on a continuous assessment basis, except for semester 6 which is carried out abroad (ECTS credits).

The LEA degree combines linguistic disciplines and subjects applied to tourism, management and international trade.

At the same time, the student receives various practical courses related to these specialisations: management, economics, law, marketing, etc.
