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