Remarks
– The CAD does not accept bank cheques. Tuition fees must be paid into one of the school’s bank accounts. For international transfers, bank charges are at the expense of the originator.
– Tuition fees remain as announced at the time of registration for the entire programme (except for students repeating the first year, if the price increases) unless inflation exceeds 5% per year, in which case the fees will be indexed.
– Since the number of students admitted each year is limited, the full tuition fee is due even in case of withdrawal or exclusion from the course.

CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS

In France, Switzerland and Belgium, privateinstitutions cannot use the words Bachelor their programmes. We therefore use the terms Undergraduates 1° CYCLE (3 years – 180 ECTS) B.A. Note that these diplomas are equivalent to Bachelor’s degrees, but are not state- approved diplomas.
