What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

Students should have a fairly high level of French. They should have completed at least a French 3 Lower course or have studied French for 4/5 years recently (post-B1 level or B2 level / A-level). Please contact the languages department for advice language@citylit.ac.uk.
