2 FRENCH AS FIRST FOREIGN LANGUAGE The course is aimed at students who have chosen French as their first foreign language and runs over two years. The course is for students who begin with an elementary (A2 level) knowledge of the language and the exit level is set at B2 level (post Intermediate) after two years study. The course ends in an exam which, once passed, gives the student two credits and which grade forms part of the overall final degree grade average. Please remind that the class group is run if the minimum number of applicants is reached. First year course Path 1 Program The first year course covers all the units in the set textbook. In addition to the content of the academic program, there is also a guided self-study component. The activities are to be carried out in conjunction with attendance in class (up to five hours per week). This allows the student to constantly learn the language and prepare properly for the exam. Students who attend at least 70% of the lessons and complete the self-study program will be awarded two points to be added to their final exam grade (See Concluding info, p. 5).

These additional points are valid for a limited period only: from June to the following December after the course has ended, including these months mentioned.
