There are also tutoring, cultural activities and personal work.

You will take continuous tests to obtain a University Diploma.

It is also possible to take the DELF-DALF or TCF exams at the end of the course.

During the course, you'll find out all about university in France: what it's like to be a student, how courses and exams are organised, what qualifications and courses are available, how to take notes during lectures and revise outside lectures, how to give presentations, how to prepare for exams, etc.

The French higher education system is complex.

During the course, professionals work with each student individually to help them think through their academic and career plans, depending on what is available.
