Coursework and assessment
The curriculum is semestarized. Each semester includes several teaching units. The exams take place at the end of each semester.
On the one hand, the compensation of the results is organized over the semester without eliminatory marks and on the basis of the general average of the marks obtained for the various teaching units, weighted by coefficients. On the other hand, it is also organized between the two immediately consecutive semesters.
To validate their semester, students must have an overall average mark of at least 10/20. If a student has not validated his semester, he nevertheless retains the benefit of the teaching units where he obtained at least 10/20.
A make-up session is organized for students who did not validate the semester in the first exam session.
