French courses

A one-week intensive French course is organized twice a year for international students: one session in September and one in January.  These courses are free of charge and promote the student’s integration in his new local and national environment by means of in-person courses and cultural activities.  No ECTS credits are provided for this programme, but incoming students can obtain a certificate of attendance at the end of the session.  Two levels are organized (A1 and A2-B1).  An online placement test will assess the level of French. 

During the academic year, Erasmus students can also apply for a French course and validate ECTS credits. Those French courses (FLE – French courses as a Foreign Language) are organized twice a week in Tournai (3 ECTS credits per semester) and Mons (5 ECTS credits per semester).
