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). The DUEF includes 20 hours of training per week with optional activities offered by the Language Resource Centre.
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.
Check your level
The language learning objectives are defined according to levels of the the Common European Framework for Languages (CEF) : 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. In order to ensure a high quality of teaching that encourages exchange and communication, our centre welcomes a maximum of 25 participants per group.
Students of the levels can obtain a University Diploma in French as a Foreign Language by continuous assessment.
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.
A certificate of attendance can also be provided by i-FLE. Please contact sul-duef@univ-nantes.fr. As part of our process of constant improvement, we collect the opinions and feedback of all our participants regarding the quality of our training.
