FLE

Early September each year, EURECOM provides a complimentary FLE intensive program for all admitted students with a French proficiency below A2. Enrollment into this program is automatic upon admission.

This program is about 2-3 weeks long and provides an introduction to French language and culture, as well as one-day trips to Antibes, Nice and surrounding areas. This facilitates the integration into France of international students.

Unfortunately, the intensive FLE program is not accessible to Engineering first-year students (Master of Engineering/Diplôme d'ingénieur).

Additionally, FLE courses are also provided throughout the academic year.
