As of the academic year 2021/2022, the ENAD is offering the DAES international, an English-speaking programm, for adults who have not been able to achieve the level of studies or the diploma necessary for continuing their studies at university.
The DAES is recognised as being a third official diploma besides the Luxembourgish secondary school leaving diplomas (classical and general studies); it provides access to the labour market and higher education/university studies.
The day course is intended for learners who, in order to succeed in their studies, benefit from regular monitoring of their learning and socio-educational supervision as offered to all students at ENAD.
For ease of access to universities and higher educational establishments, the course leading to the DAES covers the four areas of study defined in the organisation of the final cycle of study in secondary education. Each area of study is organised in modules. You will study English, French for higher education, applied mathematics, one subject in natural sciences and at least one subject in human and social sciences.
To qualify for this programm, you will need sufficient language skills in English as well as in French. Applicants who submit verified language skills in English equivalent to the CEFR Level B 1.2/B 2 and in French equivalent to the CEFR Level B 1.1/B 1.2 will be given priority during the selection process. Selection is based on the application documents and a personal interview of each potential student.
In this programm, each learner is in regular contact with a teacher-tutor who accompanies him/her in his/her personal and professional project.
In daytime training, the teaching sessions take place over five days a week. The learner will have to attend classes regularly. An absence rate of more than 10% may lead to the termination of the training contract.
