Description

A university town, Aix-en-Provence has been a center of study for French students since a university was founded there in the 15th century. More than forty thousand students live and study in the city. Aix Center is located in the heart of this academic community-in the oldest part of town, next to the Insitut d'Etudes Politiques and opposite the Cathedrale Saint-Sauveur.

Highlights

Designed for all majors, the Aix Center is renowned for its founding philosophy of making it possible for students with beginning French language skills to study in France. The structure of its program, which combines French language study with a range of liberal arts courses taught in both English and French, has opened the doors of cross-cultural learning to thousands of students who would otherwise have been denied the opportunity to study abroad.
