This programme is designed to prepare international students, who have completed senior secondary education, for entry to undergraduate studies in France, Italy and beyond. The UFP is set at level 3, which is equivalent to A-level standard in the UK.

This programme lasts one academic year (nine months). The year is divided into three terms of seven to nine teaching weeks and one reading week. You will undertake up to 26 hours of classroom-based study per week.

Students will be expected to timetable self-study hours in addition to the classroom-based hours.

You will be assessed at regular intervals throughout the programme to ensure you are making the progress required to successfully complete the programme. Full assessment of the programme will take place in the final term. Assessment methodologies are aligned to those that will be experienced in the university environment, and include project work, essays, presentations, and unseen examination.
