CIHEAM Montpellier – French Language Centre

The French Language Centre at CIHEAM Montpellier grew out of an institute specialising in Mediterranean agriculture. That setting gives it a distinctive course for students who need to discuss agronomy or the life sciences in French. The centre also welcomes learners working on general French. It is located at 3191 Route de Mende in Montpellier, on the CIHEAM campus.

French for science and university study

The scientific French course combines general communication with the language used in an academic environment. It is particularly relevant to someone who already has a subject background and wants to participate in French-language study. Individual instruction is another option when a learner needs a course built around a specific task or professional context. Its content and duration are determined after an assessment of the learner’s needs.

Studying at different times of year

The centre publishes summer courses in general French, group instruction during the academic year and evening classes. The summer programme combines spoken and written communication with cultural study. Learners working towards a diploma can also investigate preparation for DELF or DALF. Since the evening, summer and scientific formats follow different schedules, applicants should use the course title as well as the campus address when comparing travel and study dates.
