Language support

Improve your French

Français midi

Free of charge French support courses with classes from level A1 (beginner) to level B2-C1 (advanced), 2 hours a week, for non-native speakers of French, whether students in any of the Faculties, as exchange students.

These courses provide you with an opportunity to improve your skills in French, making it easier to integrate into the UniNE community and the local community beyond.

Organised by the Institute of French Language and Civilisation (ILCF), these courses take place in the month of July, with two- to four-week modules and a choice of specialisations.

Other languages

With a variety of other courses on offer, you can also improve your basic skills in German and Italian – Switzerland’s other national languages – as well as languages such as English or Spanish.

If you choose a programme taught in English, the Language Centre will support you with specialised English courses throughout the semester. Intensive courses are also organised, taking place towards the end of the inter-semester period.
