Classe internationale

   

At CIDEF, you can strenghten your French language skills and prepare for university studies in France.


Our "Classe Internationale" program enables foreign students who already have a CEFR A2 level to improve their level of French to B2, while familiarizing themselves with the methodology of university studies in France, and taking courses in their target academic disciplines.

   

Objectives

  • University integration: to enable students to discover and understand the requirements and codes of French higher education, and to acquire a methodology for university studies in general and more specifically in their chosen disciplines. Students are also guided in choosing their curriculum and preparing for administrative formalities. They acquire autonomy in their academic and personal work, and learn how to work in groups.
  • French language reinforcement, to achieve a minimum B2 level.
  • Discipline reinforcement: to acquire knowledge and skills in the chosen disciplines in order to reach the prerequisite level for the targeted curriculum.
  • Cultural and personal integration into life in France.
Our goal is to put foreign students on an equal academic footing with French secondary school students. With the methodological and academic tools we provide, they may develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for successful integration into higher education.

  • A program that is adapted, in-between semesters, to each student's needs.
