Classes are available at all levels and for students in all disciplines; in many cases French language courses are included free of charge as a part of an international degree program.

Finally, Grenoble enjoys an incomparable natural setting and a lively cultural and social life. The alpine mountain setting is perfect for sports lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. Excellent public transportation and over 320 km of bike paths make day-to-day life simple and pleasant. The city itself is routinely voted among the top three student cities in France in an annual student poll.
