Université Côte d’Azur – CUEFLE

The Centre Universitaire d’Études en Français Langue Étrangère teaches French at Université Côte d’Azur’s Carlone campus in Nice. Its office is on the second floor of Building A on Boulevard Édouard Herriot. The centre serves learners developing their own French, including people who need to communicate with university staff and follow life on a French-speaking campus.

French for everyday and university settings

At the earlier levels, the centre focuses on exchanges a student is likely to encounter soon after arrival. These include dealing with university administration, asking a teacher a question and finding the words for everyday needs. As learners progress, they produce more sustained descriptive and narrative writing and encounter specialist uses of French. Literature, tourism and business appear among the topics, with material varying by level.

The centre’s DUEF pathway gives university language study a defined academic structure. Students who need to use the qualification for admission should check the requirement of the university and programme to which they plan to apply. When organising a semester in Nice, the enrolment window matters as much as the start of teaching. The campus office publishes registration information separately for each academic period.
