Summary/Abstract: The teaching of French for Specific Purposes (FSP) within non-linguistic academic programs plays a key role in current strategies for developing multilingualism and professionalization in European higher education. It combines linguistic competence, specialized knowledge and intercultural awareness, responding to the growing expectations of the European labor market. Drawing on didactic frameworks implemented in fields such as law, economics and public administration, this article examines how FSP supports the development of transversal competences and academic mobility. Case studies carried out at the University of Bucharest shed light on the pedagogical practices involved, the use of authentic materials and interdisciplinary collaboration. FSP thus emerges as a structuring tool that addresses students’ specific needs and strengthens their integration into the European Higher Education Area.
