Advice for Incoming Erasmus students

Choosing courses in the English department: Native and non-native English speakers who wish to take classes in the English department may do so. However, in order to avoid overcrowded classes, international students may not enroll in 2nd-year classes.

Translation classes for Native-English speakers

If you are majoring in French at your home university, we advise that you take the 3rd-year (L3) translation classes: Thème (translation from French into English) and Version (translation from English into French). If you are not majoring in French at your home university, we advise that you take the 1st-year (L1) translation classes (Techniques de la traduction in semester 1, Version in semester2).

Translation classes for Non-native-English speakers

If you are majoring in English and/or French at your home university, we advise that you take the 3rd-year (L3) Thème class (translation from French to English) and the 1st-year (L1) Version class in the second semester (translation from English to French). If you are not majoring in English and/or French at your home university, we advise that you take the 1st-year (L1) translation classes (Techniques de la traduction in semester 1, Version in semester 2).

Literature and Civilisation classes

Students are advised that ALL courses within a literature or civilisation module (or UE) must be taken. Incoming Erasmus students must take the same exams as local students. They are therefore required to be present during the university exams sessions in January and May/June (see the University Calendar).
