Language requirements and intakes

Language requirement
No official language-test requirement for international applicants was found. The University of Nouakchott and ISCAE websites are in French (UNA also in Arabic); SupNum's site is in French and English. Instruction languages per programme are not stated on the pages reviewed, except that the Ministry describes the Higher Institute of English as teaching mostly in English with Arabic and French in the curriculum.Source
Intakes and deadlines
ISCAE posted 'Demarrage des cours' on 11 Oct 2026 and timetables from 19 Oct 2026, which indicates an October start for the 2026/27 year at that institute. No official intake calendar for international applicants was found for the other institutions.Source

Language and exam preparation

What to watch for in Language and intakes

  • Verify the language tests and minimum scores your target programme accepts.
  • Plan the validity of the result around your application and visa dates.
  • A programme taught in the local language may need a separate language-proficiency timeline.
