What is an OEU (Open Teaching Unit)?

Each semester of the Licence at the University of Avignon = 30 ECTS credits which are broken down into :

  • EU Fundamentals
  • Additional EU
  • EU Opening (2 credits)

The Open Teaching Units (UEO) are part of the student's training, but are chosen by each student. They may be open to all, or limited to a particular field of study or a UFR-ip, or with a limited capacity. No marks will be awarded at the end of the courses and no certificate can be given to students, especially for the constitution of study contracts for foreigners.

The Language Service of the Maison de l'International offers you the following WEUs:

Please note: The Maison de l'International does not deal with enrolments or any problems related to them (except for UEO sponsorship). For further information, please contact the pedagogical secretariat of your course.

How to register for a UEO?

You will register for the UEO online in your Digital Working Environment (DWE). When a WEU has reached its capacity, it no longer appears as available for registration. Registration to the UEO sport or the UEO cultural activity does not presume the chosen activities. You must go to the SUAPS or the Mission Culture to validate your choice of activity. The UEO Sport is reserved for SUAPS members.

You can consult in your ENT your pedagogical registrations and modify them as long as they have not been validated by the pedagogical secretariats.
