About the program

Improve your French language skills through the Université de Lausanne's Le FIL de l'EFLE. Four week courses are offered at various proficiency levels from pre-A1 to C1. Complete beginners can spend their mornings taking first steps in French while those further along have options for semi-intensive to intensive learning environments. Note that credits are only awarded to students who succesfully complete the intensive course options. Students enrolled in the complete beginners course or semi-intensive course will receive certificates of participation upon successful completion.

More specific and finalized program details can be found on the partner institution's website. However, you must apply through Go Global to be considered for this program and ensure you follow the appropriate transfer credit process.
