Pre-University Programmes
Pre-university programmes are intensive summer training sessions aiming at facilitating a successful integration of studies and life in France.
They are designed for international students seeking French-taught degrees, offering linguistic, methodological, (inter)cultural, practical and/or propaedeutical preparation required for future studies and life in France – taking into account their language levels and fields of study.
- The e-Academy.90 programme is a 90-hour online training taught in French, designed in collaboration with all our partner institutions and open to any international student or researcher,
- Every e-Academy.25 (taught in English) or e-Academy.20 (taught in French) programme has been tailored on request by one partner institution to meet their students’ needs.
When the training takes place in person, the final assessment of French language skills may take the form of an official “Test de Connaissance du Français” (TCF).
When applicable, welcome services and administrative support are provided.
