The undergraduate exchange programme: language requirements
Exchange students can take courses in French, English or in both languages for campuses which offer this possibility.
To ensure that every exchange student is fluent in at least one of these languages of instruction, exchange students whose native language is neither English nor French must provide results of an official English or French test with their application. Only students who meet certain conditions may be exempt from the language test.
Note that different programmes have different language requirements.
The choice of campus depends on the language in which exchange students want to take their courses, their language level and the number of places available on each campus.
Students who do not meet the language requirements of the campus they were nominated for by their home university will be offered a place at another campus.
