Supporting your child application | École de Management Appliqué (EMA)

How Can Parents Support the Application?

The best support is to help your child stay organised while allowing them to take ownership of their academic journey. Here are some practical ways to help.

Help Them Choose the Right Programme

Encourage your child to research the programme carefully, including its curriculum, admission requirements, language requirements, tuition fees and career opportunities. At EMA, understanding the programme before applying is an important part of making an informed decision.

Keep Track of Important Documents

International applications often require several documents, such as:

  • Passport or identity document
  • Academic transcripts and diplomas
  • CV
  • Proof of language proficiency, when required
  • Other documents depending on the programme and applicant’s situation

Helping your child create a clear checklist can make the process easier and prevent important documents from being missed.

Prepare for the Admission Interview

Encourage your child to prepare by researching the school, understanding their chosen programme and thinking about their academic and professional goals.

The interview is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their motivation, communication skills and understanding of their study plans.

Understand the Visa Process

For students coming to France from abroad, the administrative process can be an important part of the journey. Depending on their nationality and circumstances, students may need to complete procedures through Campus France and apply for a student visa.

Parents can support their child by helping them stay aware of deadlines and ensuring that documents are prepared well in advance.

Encourage Independence

Studying abroad is also an opportunity for personal growth. While parental support is valuable, students should gradually become comfortable managing their own application, communicating with the admissions team and handling administrative procedures.

This preparation can help them feel more confident once they arrive in France.

Preparing for Life in France

Supporting your child does not stop once they receive an admission offer. Parents can also help them prepare for everyday life abroad, including accommodation, budgeting, transportation, healthcare and adapting to a new cultural environment.

At EMA, we understand that choosing to study abroad is an important decision for the whole family. Our goal is to help students navigate their academic journey and prepare for a successful experience in France.

A well-prepared application is the first step towards a successful study experience abroad.
