Since the French government has instructed all higher educational institutions to remain closed to students through the end of the 2109/20 academic year, including summer sessions, we have had to postpone the 2020 European Summer Program until next year.

However, the educational process is continuing in the form of distance learning courses, self-study, video lectures and/or other methods. With this in mind, the LILLE Programs have developed several free educational modules for anyone interested in learning more about the history, culture, art, and innovation of Lille, France. See the full list of courses below for module descriptions.

Registration deadline:  15 June 2020

In addition to the mini-courses of our LILLE European Summer Program, our Faculty of Modern Languages (CLARIFE) is offering online French language courses this summer.  These courses will be more traditional in the sense that there are scheduled video class times, homework assignments, and transferable ECTS credits.  These courses are fee-paying and available for all levels of French skills.  

Dates - 1st session: 8th June to 26th June 2020 - 2nd session: 29th June to 17th July 2020

Number of hours: 24 hours of videoconference classes + 12 hours (approx.) independent on-line work with teacher supervision and guidance

Dear Université Catholique de Lille Student Community,

We hope each of you is staying home and staying safe. Our students’ well-being and safety is one of our greatest responsibilities and we are taking it very seriously during this global pandemic.

We understand that confinement in small student dorms or residences can be difficult; however, it is essential that each of us does our part to help slow the progression of the COVID-19 disease in Lille, in France, and around the world.

Each of you should have information from your particular faculty or school relating to your academic studies and how to complete your semester online.

This webpage is intended to provide you with important information and some ideas on how to make the most of your time during the mandatory government confinement.  We have put together a number of internet resources that will provide you with updates from the French government, the City of Lille, and the University, as well as a wide variety of things to help keep you occupied during the next few weeks, from virtual museum visits to online workouts, and from easy cooking recipes to free e-books and films.  We hope you find the information pertinent and useful.

If you are in need of any assistance, please contact the international student office of your school or faculty.

We continue to persevere as a community and thank each of you in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

The International Relations and Communications Office Université Catholique de Lille
