Scheduled for January and February 2025, this opportunity allows you to join high-quality programmes renowned for their innovative teaching methods and international outlook.
What is a delayed intake?
Delayed intakes are designed for students who, for various reasons, couldn’t start their academic year in September. Whether you are retraining, switching courses, or simply needed more time to choose your studies, the delayed intake lets you join Excelia First Year in January without losing a year.
Thanks to an intensive and tailored programme, you will quickly catch up on the initial months’ content while following a full curriculum that offers the same quality of education and future prospects as the standard intake.
Which Excelia programmes are available for the delayed intake?
Excelia First Year: two options to choose from
Excelia’s First Year is a one-year immersive programme designed to prepare students for success in global business. There are two distinct tracks to suit your goals:
- Excelia First Year in France, based at our La Rochelle or Paris campuses. It helps you build strong skills in management, marketing, and international business, with a strong intercultural focus.
- Excelia First Year Abroad, for students who want an international experience from day one. You can study in Australia, Canada, or Ireland at one of Excelia’s partner universities and enjoy total immersion in an English-speaking learning environment.
Both tracks offer hands-on learning with real-world projects, company internships, and personalised support. Choose the path that best matches your academic and career goals.

Student testimonial
Inès, Excelia First Year student:
“Originally from the southern hemisphere where I obtained my baccalaureate in September, I chose Excelia First Year so I wouldn’t have to wait 12 months to start my higher education. I enrolled at Excelia in February for this 6-month preparatory course, which allowed me to directly enter the second year of the Bachelor’s programme I was aiming for. While saving time in my academic path was important, Excelia First Year also gave me the chance to meet students from around the world and discover different cultures.”
