COURSES

Here is the list of courses available in English at the IAE Clermont Auvergne - School of Management at bachelor’s and master’s levels.

FALL SEMESTER:

 / 1

SPRING SEMESTER:
 / 1

Students are welcome to select courses in various levels (bachelor first year, second year, third year, master first year or second year), but this means that courses might overlap if they were selected from different timetables. We have no knowledge of the timetables before September; We thus cannot help in this matter. Should this situation occur, then the students’ advisor at UCA will help them find other courses corresponding to their study project, and they will amend their LA accordingly, with the agreement of their home university.
Our French-taught course offer at Bachelor's and Master's level is available under these links:

Licence Gestion
Masters

The university also proposes, but only for Erasmus exchange students, classes of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) for free. Students will have to register as soon as they arrive in Clermont-Ferrand. More details will be given to selected students.
UCA also proposes a vast range of courses taught in English, our catalogue is online

The IAE Clermont Auvergne - School of Management offers courses taught in French and in English. Aminimum B2 level is demanded in the selected teaching language. Proof of proficiency may be a DELF, TCF, TOEIC, TOEFL score or a signed and stamped letter by a French or English language professor of the students' home institution, attesting their capacity of studying in French/ English.
