It is one of the few universities in Paris that has an actual campus. The program in France is designed primarily for independent, advanced French language students who may attend regular university courses in the humanities, social and natural sciences, business administration, engineering, law or medicine. These classes are designed for students who need support with the French language while pursuing course work either within the programs for foreign students or in the regular departments of the university. Students are tested at the beginning of the year to determine their language level. You will learn quickly that there are enormous differences between the way universities are run in France and the way they are run in the United States.
Patience is mandatory when it comes to registering for classes.
Usually there are no catalogs or schedules of classes. Each department will list its classes outside the department. You go to each specific department to enroll in classes. You may find when you get to the department that you must wait in long lines or you may be turned away because you came on the wrong date or at the wrong time. You will most likely get into the classes you want.
