Université de Caen

Summer French Language Intensive Program (in French) - ISEP Direct

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

International summer courses (CIE) at the Université de Caen offer a unique summer immersion into French language alongside students from all over the world. Optional excursions are offered on weekends, and students have the opportunity to stay in a University Residence or with a host family. The program offers a great opportunity to discover the rich cultural and historic heritage of Normandy!

This program is three weeks in length and grants the equivalent of 3 U.S. credits. 

Students participate free of charge in one of the two one-day excursions offered on the weekend. Pending availability, students may attend the second excursion for an additional €30 fee. 

HOUSING

Students participating in this program may choose between two types of housing, a homestay or a single room on an on-campus university residence. 

MEALS

For students choosing to live with a host family, 14 meals per week (breakfast and dinner daily) are included in the housing cost. 

Meals are not included in the program cost for students electing to live in the student residence, with students expected to use their own funds for meals.  

ISEP students should budget for their meals accordingly. Lunches and dinners can be taken at the university cafeteria for 5.95€ per meal and there are communal cooking facilities in the university residences. Students and can ask their ISEP Student Services Coordinator for tips, as well as check out ISEP's resources for Budgeting for Study Abroad. 

Course Description

Students enroll in 45 hours of French Language courses per session based on their French language level (A1 to C1). Previous knowledge of French is not required.

Mornings are dedicated to intensive French language instruction, including practice in oral and written communication, reinforcement of grammatical structures, vocabulary enrichment and oral practice in an audio lab. Afternoons are free for students to explore Caen. 

Students interested in combining French language study with afternoon thematic French culture courses should consider the Université de Caen Summer French Language, Heritage & History Program.
