French as a foreign language

French Language Courses at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, and in Continuing Education

Discover how to improve or consolidate your French language skills within the Faculty of Science and Engineering, or in the context of Continuing Education.

The French as a Foreign language office forms part of the Language Department of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. It is located on the Pierre et Marie Curie Campus:Tour 43, couloir 43 – 53, 1er étage, bureau 102.

After taking a compulsory online placement test, non-French speaking students can take classes for one or two semesters. Depending on your level, you can choose between 2 and 6 hours of study a week.

Fees:

  • Classes are free for bachelor’s and master’s students enrolled in Sorbonne University or at one of Sorbonne Alliance member institutions (MNHN, UTC, CNRS, etc.).
  • For students not registered at Sorbonne University or at one of our partners, there is a 250 euro fee for a 30-hour course or 400 euros for a 60-hour course.

Sorbonne University students and personnel can also register for intensive workshops in January or in June (same fees as above). The workshops however do not provide any course credits – ECTS). The summer and winter workshops  are generally 30 hours long.

For a more informal option, students can sign up for conversation classes with French students in the Espace Langues (right across from the FLE office, 43-53 First floor, Room 105).

Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine teaches the 3 cycles of medical studies: from PASS (integrated into the faculty) to the 3rd cycle including DES, DESC, DU and DIU. The lessons are given mainly on two sites: Pitié-Salpêtrière and Saint-Antoine. The faculty also provides paramedical education: speech therapy, psychomotricity and orthoptics. The Saint-Antoine site includes a midwifery school.

Welcome to Sorbonne University's Faculty of Science & Engineering

A unique combination of courses and expertise

Our international study programmes are organised according to the major disciplinary areas of the faculty. They represent the graduate study programmes that are not strictly conducted in French or that could be suitable (in part) for non French-speaking students. They also reflect part of the diversity of the disciplines involved and the bi- and inter-disciplinary aspects of many of the courses we offer.

 

Research & Innovation

We rely on disciplinary skills and on interdisciplinary approaches to renew concepts, methods and research subjects and to focus on some of the crucial issues faced by our societies: transformations affecting the very construction of knowledge (data, AI), the treatment of complex objects (the environment, marine and ocean sciences, cultural heritage) or our contributions to addressing societal challenges (climate change, healthcare).

Study at | The Faculty of Science & Engineering

Our campuses offer different and unique experiences to our students, visitors and staff. Resources and support services are also available to ensure an equal chance at success to all.

Campus Life

In addition to the cultural activities and events organised throughout the year by our clubs and societies, the Parismus society organises numerous events, evenings and cultural visits that will help you discover France and its parisian life.
