Courses at Université de Lorraine

Language Class
Unlike other countries, it appears that you have a year-long language class in Nancy. This is a good thing, as unlike other countries, it is impossible to get by without learning some French. At the start of the year there will be three weeks of intensive language course that will take up most of your day, though they lighten up towards the end so that you can begin to get registration done. For the rest of the year, once a week you will have a three hour course. The courses are offered at three difficulty levels for those who are already quite adept at the language or who have no knowledge of French at all.
2nd Masters Electives

Course Layout
Courses are given one to two times a week with the possibility of an additional recitation from a PhD Student. Some courses have two professors who will handle different sections of the course. Courses change rooms and times every week, so you will have to constantly recheck your schedule though their are some constants and patterns. Courses also end at various times throughout the year, some only lasting a month or two, and other courses lasting well into the next year.
Courses are usually about 3 hours with a short 15 minute break half-way through the lecture. Bringing a snack is discouraged but you should do it anyways.
