In addition, foreign scholars have joined this institution.

An ancient college and has the option of professors in the Department of Philosophy

I advise future students not to choose this university / French language & literature section: the teachers make spelling mistakes (and when we report them we are penalized), they digress a lot and the lessons are quite poor, the grades are given in an arbitrary way ... My time at this college was a waste of time. I advise you to think twice before signing up.

Very friendly teaching staff, most of the time we have a good laugh. I take away a star for the bad cafe in the refreshment bar and for the classes on the 4th floor.
