Undergraduate
students are required to take seven levels of English. Our levels are Novice,
Basic 1, Basic 2, Pre-Intermediate, Low Intermediate, Intermediate and Upper
Intermediate. Before students
start their language levels, they must take a placement test. Some students
may be exempt, and if so they are able to take French. Furthermore, administrative staff can
study the languages offered and follow the same procedures as students.

Many
students use the services at our language resource center, Studium, to learn,
practice, reinforce and improve their language skills in English, French or

international exams. Studium also provides resources for language teaching
development and training.
