Notes:

Français de la finance (first level)

The course aims to train the student in written and oral communication skills at CEFR level B1+ as well as to provide adequate linguistic and cultural skills for the management of French financial communication strategies in the international contexts.

  • For absolute beginners: as a prerequisite for attending this course, absolute beginners are required to attend 16 hours of Coaching and self-learning activities (held online, with recording of the explanation parts). Absolute beginners can also take courses offered by the University Language Center - SeLdA (University Language Service): https://studenticattolica.unicatt.it/corsi-curricolari-di-base-lingua-francese.
  • For advanced students: according to the result of the level test taken during the first course, students with an advanced knowledge of French will have the opportunity to take part in a 5-week project specially designed for them: the assessment of this project will replace the written test.
