Preparation for higher education in France
- scientific studies
CAVILAM – Alliance Française's university preparation program combines general French courses with study skills workshops to support students in their plans to pursue higher education in France. Over the course of four weeks, students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for a science-related program in the French higher education system: understanding the French university system, note-taking, preparing oral and written presentations, acquiring specialized vocabulary, understanding the grading system, and more.
This program thus enables students to strengthen their language and methodological skills, build confidence, and prepare for the demands of their future academic program.
