French language level required for international students
If you are taking an English language course, you do not need to be fluent in French. However, the relevant training center may assess your level of English.
But if you are taking courses in French, you should know that international students must provide a certificate that certifies their level of French. You can obtain this certificate by passing an official French language test or test, such as TCF, DELF, DALF or TEF.
Levels B1 or B2 are recommended for undergraduate and graduate courses, and especially for the humanities and social sciences. The level required for the first year of DAP (Preliminary Admission Application) is B2. Some higher education institutions may require C1 or C2 levels for certain courses.
