Program for exiles

Since 2012, the Lumière Lyon 2 University has been supporting the reception of students in exile at the University, in particular for learning the French language. The CIEF, a recognised player in the field of French as a foreign language and French for academic purposes, participated in the working group that developed the DU Gateway - students in exile, at the initiative of the Mens network (Migrants in 'Higher Education).
