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 2022). 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.

Dates and program:

The Summer School will be arranged in two rounds: from 4th to 29th of July and from 1st to 26th August 2022. Students may choose to take part in 1-month or 2-month program depending on their objectives.

Please be informed that at least B2 level of French is required for starting your degree studies at Mines Nancy efficiently.

The Summer School courses are scheduled on mornings and/or afternoons (3.5 days a week for a total of 18 hours a week).

The Summer School program is a combination of classroom studies – focusing on communication skills – and cultural activities. The final program will be adapted according to the students’ profiles (level of French, native language, fields of study, interests etc.).
