Introduction

Following this week's ministerial announcements, the DUEF's courses should take place face to face next semester. We would like to remind you that we remain dependent on government measures, therefore the date of return to campus will be communicated to you as soon as possible.




DUEF Semester Course

The semester courses of the Diplôme Universitaire d'Etudes Françaises are general French language courses. The courses are full-time and include six levels of instruction (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). Each semester includes 18 hours per week, over 12 weeks. Students can register for one or two semesters (from September to December - from January to May).


DUEF Parcours Plus

Due to the health context, the Parcours Plus course will not be open next semester 2021.

The DUEF Parcours Plus completes the semester courses of the Diplôme Universitaire d'Etudes Françaises . This option Parcours Plus is  only available from level B2 and aims at preparing students to the world of work. Students will attend the regular DUEF semester course in semester 1 and complete this training in semester 2 with a 140-hour internship and a 20-hour module of French for Specific Purposes. 

In order to determine their level, students who register for the first time take a test during the pre-entry week.

Objectives

The language learning objectives are defined according to levels of the the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFR) : general and communicative skills based on task based learning and the use of authentic language material. The activities differ according to level but also to the needs expressed by the groups.

Students at the levels take an exam at the end of the semester to obtain a University Diploma in French Studies.

The acamedic transcript can be downloaded from the Student Intranet. Upon successful completion, the University Diploma (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 )  is awarded at the end of the semester, and will be collected at the Registrar’s Office. Please contact scolarite.fle@univ-nantes.fr for any question.
