Summer Courses

Exams

Students who have regularly attended at least one session of French language courses (in the current year), as well as the members of the University community (UNIGE, HES-SO Geneva, IHEID, HUG) can register for an exam to obtain a language diploma or certificate:

- A2-B1 Diploma Examination

- Certificate Examination B2-C1

If they pass, they will be awarded a language diploma within two weeks, certifying their level in French: A2, B1, B2 or C1.

Passing the Certificate of French (advanced level diploma: B2 or C1) exempts students from the French admission exam to the University of Geneva (the Faculty of Arts requires an additional test).

  • Registration for the examination is only open to participants of the current year's Summer School, as well as the members of the University community.
  • Students who have failed the preparatory year offered by the ELCF cannot register for the B2-C1 Summer School Certificate.
  • Cancellations and refunds are possible before July 31.
  • All requests for cancellation must be sent by e-mail to cefle(at)unige.ch
  • In the case of a refund, an administration fee of CHF 20.00 will be deducted.
  • In case of cancellation for administrative or medical reasons (no visa, border closure, flight cancellation, quarantine, illness) and upon presentation of supporting evidence, reimbursement after the deadline is possible with a CHF 20.00 administration fee.
