Certificate in French as a Second Language

La Cité universitaire francophone at the University of Regina is offering this exciting 8-month program! It is a 30-credit full-time program that runs every year from September to April; an intensive program and the fastest way to learn French while staying in Regina. Students can add it to their diploma and it looks great on resumes!

 Students will have the opportunity to learn in a small group of about 10. The learning experience includes a total immersion into the French culture through events such as Le Festival du voyageur. The results are incredible as students start with a beginner level and can communicate efficiently by the end of the program.

 Our students also benefit from several scholarships such as the ACUFC $3,000 scholarship and the federal-provincial bursary of $500 per semester. And so much more!

 Students need a beginner level in order to get in. If they do not know any French at all that's okay too!

They can just take beginner classes this summer and start the program in September.

 We ask everyone to take our placement test prior to applying. It takes about 20 minutes and is a free evaluation that helps determine their level in French so we can advise them better.

 Please visit the following link for more information and a video about the program: https://lacite.uregina.ca/en/uni/programs/cfls
