Program Overview

Introduction to the Dipl¶me de Franńais Langue ╔trangĶre

The Dipl¶me de Franńais Langue ╔trangĶre is a comprehensive program designed for individuals whose culture and/or language of reference is not French. This 120-credit ECTS diploma represents a two-year full-time course, offering an extensive education in French as a foreign language, encompassing both linguistic and cultural dimensions.

Program Overview

• The program is tailored for those seeking to deepen their knowledge in the field of French as a foreign language.
• It is particularly suited for individuals aiming to teach French in non-French speaking countries or regions, or those looking to complement their foreign-acquired French education.
• To be eligible, candidates must hold a title that grants them the right to enroll at the University of Lausanne. However, individuals who do not meet the University's admission criteria may still be admitted if they pass a preliminary examination administered by the Ecole de franńais langue ķtrangĶre.

Important Considerations

• Independence of the Dipl¶me and Bachelor's Programs: It is crucial to note that the Dipl¶me dispensed by the Ecole de franńais langue ķtrangĶre cannot be used as a component of the Bachelor's degree in Letters. These two courses are entirely independent and require an early choice.
• Eligibility for Faculty of Letters: Students who meet the entry conditions for the Ecole de franńais langue ķtrangĶre but not for the Faculty of Letters, and who have obtained a diploma from the EFLE, can enroll in the Faculty of Letters.

Plans of Study

The plans of study are dynamic documents that may undergo slight modifications until the start of the academic year. It is advisable to verify these plans at the beginning of the semester to ensure you have the most current version.
