The circular building in the picture is the European Synchrotron Radiation Center. Many scientists from all over the world do experiments here every year. Grenoble is a veritable university town, and higher education is in a leading position in France, second only to Paris. University of Grenoble II, also known as Pierre Mond University, was formerly known as Grenoble University. This university has a long history. Its predecessor was a medical school built in the14th century, and it is one of the oldest universities in Europe. After hundreds of years of changes, three universities were formally established in 1970. In199/kloc-0, Pierre Mond, a famous economic and political scientist, was adopted as the school name, which reflected the characteristics and styles of the school in humanities and social sciences. There are four comprehensive universities (Polytechnic University, Medical University, Sociology University, Language University and Engineering University) and more than 10 other institutions. Grenoble is also one of the cities with the largest number of students in France, with 60,000 college students and 1 10,000 teachers. Every year, 5,000 foreign students from 100 countries and regions study here. Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble University
Is a university of science and engineering, with computer technology, automation, remote control, network, computer technology and so on 12 teaching and research units: sports, biology, chemistry, geology, information science and applied mathematics, geography, mathematics, mechanics, medicine, physics, natural science and technology and so on. It is a famous university in France, with two Nobel Prize winners in physics and several French colleges.
This school is named after the famous scientist Fourier.
Joseph Fourier (1768 ~ 1830) was born in a tailor's family in Oszer, central France. He became an orphan at the age of 8, attended the local military academy, 1795 worked as a teaching assistant at Paris Polytechnic University, and 1798 went on an expedition to Egypt with Napoleon's army. He was highly valued by Napoleon and was appointed as the governor of Grenoble Province after returning to China. Because of his contribution to heat conduction theory, he was elected as an academician of the Paris Academy of Sciences in 18 17, and became a lifelong secretary of the Academy of Sciences in 1822. From Fourier's experience, this also reflects what Confucius said, being an official and being excellent means learning, and learning and being excellent means being an official. It seems that the ideas summarized by our ancestors are also suitable for foreigners.
Fourier wrote a basic paper on heat conduction as early as 1807, but it was rejected by the Academy of Sciences after being reviewed by Lagrange, Laplace and Legendre. 18 1 1 year, he submitted a revised paper and won an Oscar, but it was not officially published. 1822, Fourier finally published the monograph "Analytical Theory of Heat" (Thé orie de la Chaleur, Didot, Paris, 1822). This classic book developed the trigonometric series method applied by Euler and Bernoulli in some special cases into a rich general theory, and trigonometric series was later named after Fourier. Fourier uses trigonometric series to solve the heat conduction equation, and in order to deal with the heat conduction problem in infinite region, the so-called "Fourier integral" is derived, which greatly promotes the study of boundary value problems of partial differential equations. But the significance of Fourier work goes far beyond this, which forces people to revise and popularize the concept of function, especially the discussion of discontinuous function; The convergence of trigonometric series stimulated the birth of set theory. Therefore, "thermal analysis theory" has influenced the process of analytical rigor in the whole19th century. University of France II in Grenoble
Mainly in humanities and social sciences, including law, economics and management, politics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, regional and administrative management, technology and management, economic analysis, economic technology and management, planning, education, history, social geography, art history, music, etc. Extensive inter-school and international communication channels have been established, and a lot of fruitful work has been done in teaching and scientific research. Stendhal (Stendhal) University
The famous great writer Stendhal was born here, so this school is very famous. It is a French public comprehensive university specializing in the training of French teachers in the world, French teaching for foreign students and social science teaching research. The school enjoys a high reputation for its research in the fields of literature and social sciences. Specializing in linguistics, media classical literature and modern literature; LEA/ trade and commerce,/specialized translation, classical literature, modern literature, philology, comprehensive comparative literature, philology, comprehensive comparative literature, linguistics, language industry; English language and literature, romantic studies, poetry, language studies, etc. CUEF language training center
This language center, directly under the University of Grenoble III, is one of the first-class language training institutions in France and a training base for French teachers all over the world. With its novel teaching methods, perfect teaching system and flexible admission time, it has become the first choice for international students to study in France for the first time. The center is designated by the French government to issue national French certificates: DELF and DALF.
And Oxford, England, are French training classes in twin cities.
I. Admission time
The admission dates of normal language classes are February and September.
There are language intensive classes every month.
Second, the learning period.
Normal language classes have weekly 16- 18 class hours, and the center tests students' learning situation every week.
Cours intensif is a 25-hour course every week. In the afternoon, the voice listening room is open to the students in the center, and the time is unlimited.
Demi-intensif, weekly 12 hour course.
French culture class: it is divided into two semesters. Generally speaking, only those whose French level is above B 1 can participate. The course covers a wide range of subjects, including French culture, French history, French literature, French economy, French politics, French movies and so on. Except French writing and expression are compulsory courses, others are optional courses. Each student can choose three elective courses, and the weekly class time varies according to different groups and elective courses. Generally between 18-22 hours. At the end of the semester, a school-level French grade certificate will be awarded.
Third, teaching methods:
Every language intensive class has 10- 15 students, so that beginners can get an effective and relaxed learning environment. On the first day of school, students will take a series of exams: writing, speaking and reading, and be assigned to different levels of classes accordingly.
Holidays: Christmas holidays and summer holidays (students trained in intensive classes have no summer holidays).

VI. Education-National Certificate:
French research certificate
Enhanced French certificate (DALF)
In addition, there are 16 engineering colleges, 1 master colleges and 3 professional colleges in Grenoble.
