        Are the subjects in my country different from those in France during the same session?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Yes, the subjects in your country of residence will most likely be different from those you might find in France during the same session, but they are all designed by France \u00c9ducation International<\/strong>, and the level of difficulty is the same<\/strong> all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        A recent reform of the DELF has harmonized the exam (exam subjects and correction<\/em>) throughout the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What level of DELF is required to study in a French-speaking university?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The DELF level required to study in a French-speaking university depends on the university: either B2 <\/strong>or C1<\/strong>. Ask at the university itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The B2 level is a minimum to ensure that the student has sufficient language skills to follow a university course in French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
