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 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.
Students at levels A1 and A2 can obtain a University Diploma in French as a Foreign Language by continuous assessment. Students at levels B1, B2 , C1 and C2 are subject to continuous assessment and a final exam.
The academic 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.
