Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, is known for its vineyards, its mustard and a well-preserved historic centre. With the University of Burgundy's language centre, it offers students a calm, culturally rich setting.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Dijon. The University of Burgundy's French centre for foreigners and language schools in the city are among the options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Language levels go from A1 to C2, and on an intensive course you should allow about two months per level.
Language school fees in Dijon depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and off-season dates. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a booking confirmation and, if needed, a letter of acceptance for your visa. Junior programs require parental consent.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and prices are usually lower.
