A Passerelle University Diploma (DU) allows asylum seekers, beneficiaries of subsidiary or temporary protection, refugees and stateless persons to have a better level of French in order to study in France.

This course offered by the University Center for French Language Teaching for Foreign Students (CUEFEE) includes:

  • French lessons,
  • activities,
  • support to build your academic and professional project in France...
The training lasts a minimum of one semester (4 months), from September to December and then from January to April.
If you are a beneficiary of international protection or a beneficiary of temporary protection and have acquired an A2 level, you can benefit from an exemption from registration fees by compiling a file, taking a language test and participating in an interview with a social worker who will study your situation and with a teacher from CUEFEE who will advise you on your university project.

There are approximately 40 similar courses in France. This page presents the course offered by the University of Tours.
