Obligatory French Profficiency Test
The T.C.F. (Test de Connaissance du Français) is obligatory for entry into 3rd year or Master level 1. More information on the TCF A list of test centres for the TCF can be found on the CIEP website (Centre International d'Études Pédagogique)
Candidates should contact the test centre of their choice in order to find out the dates and organisation of the tests. It is imperative that the TCF includes the obligatory tests, as well as the extra written expression test.
The minimum scores accepted are 14/20 for written expression and 400/699 for the QCM (Multiple choice questions). If you fail to obtain these scores in the TCF, or if you fail to sit and pass the extra written expression test, your application will not be examined by the departmental committee.
Exempt from this test are holders of the DALF (C1 or C2) or DELF B2, nationals of certain countries where French is the official language (see list on form) and European candidates.
A diploma can be considered valid by some establishments, but not by others. The response to each application is taken directly by the President of the University, after being pre-approved by the Departmental Teacher Committees (who base their opinions on the compatibility of your qualifications with the desired field and level of study. Your level of linguistic capabilities will also be taken into consideration.)
