International admissions
September 2024: International admissions open
We accept applications throughout the year, subject to space availability and visa lead times. The application deadline is September 2025. However, if you are a non-EU student, we advise you to apply by the end of June 2025, to allow sufficient time for consular formalities and to arrive in France on time.
International admissions are open to all courses at the École Supérieure du Parfum & de la Cosmétique, including vocational training. Applicants must be able to speak French and have a baccalaureate level, with the possibility of a science refresher course for non-scientists.
- Step 1: Preparing your application. You must download the application form and send it by e-mail to the following address: admission@ad-education.com, together with all the documents requested. We do not process incomplete applications.
- Step 2: You receive a free orientation interview. The international department will contact you within 72 hours to offer you an orientation interview and discuss your career plans and next steps.
- Step 3: Preparing for the interview. Once the orientation interview has been completed, if your application is eligible, we will contact you within 48 hours with a proposal for an admission interview with the academic director of the campus of your choice. The interview will take place within two weeks. It will last between 45 min and 1 hour (remote**) and will include a test of your general knowledge and your knowledge of perfume and cosmetics.
- Step 4: You are admitted to the school. Once you have passed the admission interview and the corresponding written tests, you will receive a reply within 8 days. You will receive an admission e-mail with the registration procedure. You will be asked to give us your decision within 15 days (flexible deadline).
- Step 5: You are enrolled in the school. Once payment has been made, we will confirm your definitive enrolment as soon as we receive it, and you will receive official notification of your enrolment within 72 hours so that you can begin your consular formalities in your home country.
You will receive a schedule and details of the start of the academic year in September 2025 in June.
*It is possible to join the school up to 3 weeks after the start of the academic year. Admissions are possible from October to October.
