ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY OF FRANCE - CAMPUS ADVENTISTE DU SALEVE - COLLONGES

At Adventist University of France, students, researchers and visitors can enjoy the landscape as well as all the facilities and amenities of the Campus where around 100 administrative employees and teachers welcome more than 450 students.

•  Adventist Theological Seminary (FAT)
  The Theological Seminary is an institution of higher education whose mission is to provide each student with a Biblical, Theological and Pastoral education in a supportive and spiritual atmosphere. Its purpose is to prepare or improve the qualifications of the students for the service to which God has called them in order to accomplish the Church’s mission. The pastoral ministry is essentially a vocation, but it is also a profession that requires serious, in depth preparation in order to face the challenges of a complex ministry attuned to the needs of others. The faculty is here to help you become the best pastors and to assist you in acquiring the necessary tools, while offering intellectual and spiritual training adapted to evangelical needs.
  Academic agreements have been signed with several universities including Andrews University (USA), University of Laval (Canada) and University of Strasbourg (France) which enables students to obtain a State recognized degree.

•  Institute of French as a Foreign Language (IFLE)
  The French Language Institute is a teaching department. Its mission is to provide excellent opportunities for students to immerse themselves in the life and culture of France, to become proficient in the French language and to mature spiritually, intellectually and socially. For 50 years the Institute of French as a Foreign Language has played an important role in the lives of all those who come to study during the 9 months of the school year or the 6 weeks of the summer course. Come to Collonges, take a little time to widen your horizons and discover another view of life, meet interesting people, experience a world that is different and endearing, and improve your knowledge of a beautiful language.
