Initial distance learning
The Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (Inalco) offers a vast range of distance learning courses covering a wide range of languages and their geographical areas, as well as thematic and disciplinary courses.
Inalco has a wealth of expertise in the development of distance learning. The establishment offers a wide choice of courses of all types (language diplomas, civilization diplomas, courses...) which are delivered in co-modal (a possible mix between face-to-face and distance learning) or bimodal (100% distance learning).
Thus everyone, subject to obtaining the baccalauréat (or equivalent), can choose to start a language and/or civilization diploma or even a (non-diploma) course in the specialties under-mentioned.
