What this kind of certificate teaches

You will build vocabulary and grammar through practical exercises, and most classes emphasise conversation so you can use French in everyday situations such as greetings, travel, shopping, and simple written communication.

How difficult is it to get a place

The university has not published how competitive entry to this certificate is. This means there is no official cut-off point or aggregate you can compare against. You will need to contact the admissions office to find out whether your WASSCE grades meet their expectations and whether places are still available.

What you can do with French afterwards
