Language training

You must come to ParisTech with an acceptable level in French. Your future ParisTech institute will require you to prove it (e.g. by means of a certificate issued by a French language teacher of your home university, or your local Alliance Française or French Consulate; this certificate will be required with your application).

In order to improve your French, you may follow a 3 month course in France, from May to July or from July to September.
