French courses and level tests / Incoming exchange student

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

At the University of Liège courses are in most cases taught in French. Exchange students therefore need to have sufficient profciency of the language, both written and oral, to understand courses and to take part effectively in seminars and practicals.

Therefore we ask students who follow courses given in French to join to their application form a document testifying their level of French. The minimal required level is B1 (B2 for HEC Liège - Management School) according to the Common European Framework of Reference.

Next to this proof of language, at their arrival, non French-speaking students who take courses in French have to take a compulsory test in French to attest their profciency. The results are sent to departmental coordinators.

Dates for the French tests:
• for the 1^st term: from 8^th to 15^th September 2021
• for the 2^nd term: from 31^st January to 4^th February 2022
