From May through the end of
August, students are assigned
to one of the program’s 4 IUT
cities, living first with a host family
and then in university housing.
They undergo French Language
immersion, while also taking
remedial courses in science and
technology.
Students enter the IUT in September.
In their first year they receive special
training in small groups and labs,
underpinned by related support
courses.
In their second year at the
IUT, students take classes
with other students and are
treated just the same as their
French-speaking peers.

achievements and preferences,
students may choose to
pursue:
IUT de Saint-Nazaire and Université de Nantes
IUT Aix-Provence and Aix-Marseille Université
