UPN’s Summer School: French Language & Culture - 22-30 June 2026

Are you a prospective exchange student or considering studying at our university? Or do you simply want to spend an unforgettable week in the Paris region while boosting your French skills? This programme is designed for you!

Registration for this programme is entirely free for students from our partner universities, with priority given to members of the EDUC alliance. You only need to cover your own travel and accommodation costs!

Programme overview

• Dates: 22 to 30 June 2026
• Location: University Paris Nanterre (UPN) campus
• Duration: 25 hours
• Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9 AM to noon
• Cultural activies: special afternoon excursions on Thursday 25 and Monday 29 June
• Levels: two dedicated groups for A2 and B1 (CEFR)

What to expect

This intensive 7-day course is designed to refresh your linguistic tools rather than move you to a new CEFR level. You will review key concepts of your current level while gaining a deep dive into French society and culture. Our goal is to ensure you have the confidence to follow conversations and communicate fluently with native speakers in everyday situations.
