The program targets a B2 level on the CECRL scale, or levels 7-8 on the Quebec government's proficiency scale, by completion. It suits international students, immigrants, and other non-francophone residents who need structured, university-level French instruction to support academic, professional, or civic life in Quebec. The program is offered at Universite du Quebec a Montreal on a full-time or part-time basis, with admission in the fall and winter trimesters.
