Language of instruction:

The language of instruction is English. There is no prerequisite in French language. Students can take French classes during their exchange period.

A 3-week program of intensive French courses is organised in September before the start of the courses. This program is not compulsory, yet Exchange students are invited to join it if they wish. 

Credits and Grades

A set number of credits are granted for each type of course (classes, project or professional thesis).To receive credits, students need to take an examination and obtain at least 10/20.

The grading scale for the courses is as follows:

18 - 20 Excellent
16 – 17.5 Very good
14 – 15.5 Good
12 – 13.5 Satisfactory
10 – 11.5 Correct
  0 – 9.5 Fail

If your grade is minimum 10 and above, you get the maximum number of credit allocated to the course. Grade 0 to 9.5 means you have not passed the examination and do you not get any credit. Examinations can be retaken during a specific period. The final grade of the course can be based on a final examination, or it can be based on a combination of a final examination and course work. At the beginning of each course, professors explain how students will be evaluated. Students have to register to each specific course at the beginning of each term to be able to take the examination.

All information regarding the organisation of the curriculum (assessement, schedule...) will be delivered during the "INTRODUCTION DAY" before the start of each semester.
