• 4-week opening seminar programmes, held at the beginning of the second and third year, must be validated. However, if your level in French on arrival is insufficient, you must follow and validate the pre-sessional intensive French course (the “SPEIF”), instead of the second year 4-week opening seminar programme.

These regulations are the same as those for Masters' programmes.

• The remaining ECTS may be validated in other languages offered by the DFL, with the prior agreement of the French Section.
• A TOEIC score of minimum 750 points (or equivalent international test, such as TOEFL, IELTS or Cambridge Proficiency, CAE or FCE) is required. the original certificate must be presented in a request for equivalence.
