Stage de français intensif - Intensive French Program - Optional
The Stage de français intensif is custom-designed for PSIA international students, who come from over 100 countries. It offers students the chance to develop and strengthen their fluency in French, regardless of their initial level. We feel there is no better way for you to start each new semester and to make the most of PSIA's bilingual and multicultural environment.
The program (or stage, in French) is based on an innovative, "layered" combination of small-group workshops and other whole-group activities and is taught by a group of carefully selected teachers. Individual tutoring sessions are sometimes available as well. Language and culture learning are emphasized through interaction and engagement with your fellow students. With a high level of commitment and active participation, you are certain to improve much more than just your French grammar and vocabulary.
The Stage takes place twice annually, in the week before the beginning of each semester.

How do I register?
Prior to registering, students must self-assess (PDF, 92 ko) their level in French to identify if they should register in a course in A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1 level.
For the Spring pre-semester session students will register via their student account on course registration day:
- M2 students on 8 January from 3:35 pm to 11:59 pm Paris time*
- M1 students on 10 January from 3:35 pm to 11:59 pm Paris time*
During general course registrations day, students will enroll in ONE course (within their language level) on a first come, first served basis.
*More details will be provided about course registrations in an email to be sent to all students by their respective master academic team.
