INALCO Language Courses
Under an agreement with INALCO, students enrolled in the EHESS-EFEO program, in Master 1 or Master 2, may choose one or more courses in language or civilization (human and social sciences) within those offered by the National Institute for Eastern Languages and Civilizations (INALCO) in License and Master LLCER or as part of the establishment diplomas in language and civilization (initiation diplomas, language and civilization diplomas, civilization diplomas), subject to the number of places available and up to a maximum of 12 credits per year.
The choice of language and/or of courses must be approved by the advisor/director and with respect to the course syllabus.
EHESS students should register at INALCO under the minor master’s degree program for exemption from registration fees. The evaluation of the courses is carried out by the person in charge of the EU, but acceptance of ECTS credits is the responsibility of the institution in which the student is registered administratively.
