About the placement test
Who Is Concerned?
According the Recruitment dept, students with an academic background in a French-speaking country (Francophonie), students who already have some knowledge of French but cannot provide an official language certificate (such as DELF B2 or equivalent).
The placement test allows the FLE department to assess the level of French.
What to Expect
The placement test is made up of the following parts:
- Grammar
- Written production
- Listening comprehension
- Oral interview
No specific preparation is required: the test simply assesses the current level of French.
Before & After the Test
The exact reporting time and venue are organised by the FLE Department so that the results can be transmitted to the Registrar’s Office by Close of Business (COB) on the day of the test.
Each student receives these details, together with any practical instructions, in their individual invitation (convocation).
To prepare the placement tests in the best possible conditions, the final list of new students entitled to sit a placement test must reach the FLE Department no later than 19 August 2026. Students admitted after this date will be accommodated as far as possible, but a proper preparation time is required.
Results are communicated by COB on Monday 24 or Tuesday 25 August 2026, through the Registrar’s Office. The FLE Department transmits the results of the placement tests to the Registrar, who informs the students.
