Language skills
Studies at the HES-SO Valais-Wallis take place in a bilingual or multilingual environment. Language courses (French, German, English) are therefore part of several basic courses. The HES-SO Valais-Wallis recommends that students have a level B2 in these three languages according to the European Language Portfolio. For students who do not have this level, the HES-SO Valais-Wallis organizes intensive courses so that they can acquire the knowledge necessary for a Bachelor's degree.
For students who wish to pursue their studies in a language other than their mother tongue, a C1 certificate in the language concerned is recommended.
Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE).
The validation of a certain number of ECTS credits through the crediting of active years (education, professional and extra-professional experience) makes it possible to shorten the length of the study program. The UAE makes it possible to obtain ECTS credits in the form of equivalences and, consequently, to start studies with a lower workload.
