Ready to meet French people?

Learning French at CIDEF gives you the opportunity to meet French people on campus (9,000 students) and during social and cultural events at various other venues.

CIDEF hosts the BEC, an exchange programme office that organises events (for example the so-called “international evening”), sports and cultural activities that are as many opportunities to meet with French students. Hundreds of students contact the BEC to take advantage of its network and thus have the opportunity to meet and befriend French people.

• Contact the BEC: bec@uco.fr
• To keep you posted: www.facebook.com/cidef.angers/

To help you settle into your new French life, CIDEF also works with A.F.I.A. (Accueil familial international de l’Anjou), an organisation that will give you the chance to meet with French families for a meal or a cup of tea and thus hone your speaking skills.

• To register with A.F.I.A, please contact the BEC

“CIDEF offers a high-quality academic experience to students from all over the world wishing to learn French. Opportunities to meet and make friends with other students and to compare ways of life are numerous. You learn how to communicate with people from all over the world.”
