Students must register for French language courses while attending on exchange. Students may apply for a Winthrop-King scholarship for this program for the Spring term.

Classes are offered in English within the following four Colleges: Law, Political Science, Economics & Management, Science & Technology, Health Sciences, and Human Sciences.
