VAE
VAE can help you earn all or part of a degree by recognising your experience.
What is VAE?
Validation of prior experience (VAE) recognises skills gained through professional, personal or voluntary activities to award all or part of a degree.
At IAE Réunion, all degrees can be obtained through this process. Your experience must match the skills required for the degree you are seeking.
