PRESENTATION OF THE INSTITUTION

The Maison des Langues is the department of Le Mans Université dedicated to the dissemination of languages and the promotion of intercultural exchanges. Our aim is to ensure the success of international students through our learning and support facilities and our resource centre. Students have access to specific support: preparatory diplomas in French as a Foreign Language, multilingual evening classes, pedagogical and methodological tutoring. We strive to facilitate their integration into the French higher education system through individual guidance and orientation as well as a range of intercultural and social activities.

Academic staff in our Engineering and Sciences courses belong to internationally recognised research laboratories in acoustics, optics, micro-technologies, IT, physics, chemistry, etc. Access to high-profile Master’s degrees with international employment potential is available from a range of our undergraduate courses.

Our campus on a human scale offers services and extra-curricular activities just around the corner: library, cafeterias, guidance, health, sport and culture. Student societies are vibrant and diverse: arts, culture, sciences, social and environmental action and faculty societies.

Our city is famous internationally for the 24-hour Le Mans motor race but it is also steeped in its rich Roman and medieval heritage. Furthermore, it is located one hour from Paris by train and less than two hours from the seaside resorts of Normandy and Brittany.
