The French Institute offers five diplomas, which correspond to the five levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for languages. These may be obtained after one semester, from September to December or January to May.

Each diploma includes 19 to 20 hours of classes per week, making up for the accumulated semestral Units of Instruction (UI). The courses develop skills such as reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and written and spoken production. These skills are acquired by studying the French language, culture, and civilization.

- DUEF A1 level = 228 hours
- DUEF A2 level = 240 hours
- DUEF B1 level = 234 hours
- DUEF B2 level = 228 hours
- DUEF C1 level = 228 hours

At the beginning of the semester, a placement test is taken to orient new students and offer training based on their level of French proficiency. Each student then joins the most appropriate course of study for their level.
