Mines Nancy offers international students to take part in an intensive training program in French as a Foreign Language during the summer period (July and August). The main objective of this Summer School is to prepare students, linguistically and culturally, to easily integrate into degree studies in the fields of science and engineering in France.
The Summer School is open both to international students who would like to continue their degree studies in Mines Nancy and to students seeking to improve their level of French while living an immersive experience in France.
The Summer School’s objectives:
- Facilitate the linguistic and cultural adaptation of students
- Help students better integrate into an engineering school in France
- Promote students’ autonomy and responsibility by allowing them to be main actors during their studies
- Provide students with all the necessary resources (teaching staff, study material and digital platform) required for efficient language learning in an immersive environment.

The Summer School takes place during the months of July and August (from July 15 to August 23, 2024). Students have the option to attend the complete 6-week training or part of it depending on their goals.
