The French Language and Culture Summer Programme is designed for international students wishing to have a first experience in a French university and for students preparing for an academic mobility in France. It combines language and culture courses, as well as cultural activities, in order to experience and better understand the French way of life.

For students to make the most of their stay, two week-end trips are organised: one in Paris and one in Barcelona.
Duration: 3 weeks (June 28th to July 18th 2015).
