Inalco's International Student Exchange Program gives exchange students access to three categories of courses, all taught in French.
Language and Civilisation courses:
Courses in over 100 non-Western languages, civilisations, and area studies ranging across a dozen Departments. To enroll, exchange studies must have at least a B1 level in French.
Please note that for the Academic Year 2024-2025, exchange students cannot follow or enrol in any of the courses from the Korean studies department. Furthermore, due to a very high number of candidates and the limited number of spots, students cannot follow or enroll in the English courses taught at Inalco.
French Language courses (Inal’FLE):
French Language courses (reading, speaking, civilisation, etc.) available for all proficiency levels, from A1 (full beginner) to C1 (advanced).
Please note that incoming students will have to take an online language test before arriving at Inalco. Its results will determine the group level in which the student will be registered at Inalco, regardless of other results from DELF/DALF or TCF.
Thematic and Disciplinary courses :
To enroll, exchange students must have at least a B1/B2 level in French (B2 recommended).
Courses focus on examining phenomena from a transnational perspective.
- Anthropology - World Arts - Global Political Issues - Environment - Gender and Sexuality in the World - Connected World History - Linguistics - Literature, Arts and Translation - Orality - Philosophies of Elsewhere - Religion Violence, Migration, Memory
Professional Track courses:
Professional track courses are only available to students doing a one-year exchange program starting in the Fall semester (September to June).
