For the third consecutive year, the University of Caen Normandy has been selected to host students in the « Classes internationales » program.
This year, the program is expanding: after India, applications are also open to residents of the following countries: China, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Vietnam.
The program aims to recruit students into specific programs at the University of Caen Normandy and offers a preparatory year of language and subject-specific studies.
Applications should be submitted by email to intl.classes.internationales@unicaen.fr: CV, cover letter, most recent transcripts, and diploma(s) if applicable.
If the application is approved, an interview will be organized with a referent professor from the aimed degree.
Acceptated students will receive a pre-registration letter once tuition fees have been paid.
The following degrees are available within the Classes internationales:
- Bachelor of Economics
- Bachelor of Management
- Bachelor of Geography and Planning
- Bachelor of Mathematics
- Bachelor of Computer Science
- Bachelor of Chemistry
- Bachelor of Mechanics
- Bachelor of Physics

Tuition fees:
For the first year (preparatory year): 4,400 euros + 178 euros* of registration fees. Students will also be required to pay the CVEC (105 euros*) TOTAL: 4,683 euros.
The current tuition fees for undergraduate studies are 178 euros* per year or 628 euros* for the Integrated Preparatory Classes (+CVEC).
* 2025/2026 rates, subject to change
This year is mandatory for students who do not have a sufficient level of French to directly enter their chosen program. The prerequisite for entry into the preparatory year is a level A2 proficiency.
Students are placed in international classes, thus developing intercultural skills.
The program is structured around three pillars:
- Acquisition/improvement of disciplinary skills
- Acquisition/improvement of language skills
- Acquisition/improvement of methodological skills
Subject to successful completion of the preparatory year and a sufficient level of French, the student will then automatically join the program for which they initially applied.
