Online preparatory courses for the ECUS exam

You cannot follow our face-to-face lessons at our school in Geneva? Follow them online by videoconference!

Our online courses are organized for a small group of 4 to 8 participants. This allows our teachers to give personalized lessons that meet everyone's needs. Students feel free to interact and video pose their questions to teachers, as if they were physically in class.

Students will receive all course documents in electronic format; no paper mailing.

The preparatory courses for the ECUS are intended for students with a foreign diploma wishing to undertake studies at a French-speaking university. The BER School opened its first preparation class for the admission exams to Swiss universities more than 25 years ago. She thus benefits from a great deal of experience.

The personal folder of each student must have been previously accepted by the University secretariat, subject to successful completion of the ECUS.

The training spans 31 weeks of lessons and covers all programs in French, English, history, mathematics and geography, biology, chemistry, physics.
