Assessment procedures
The study year is divided into two semesters, with the last week reserved for exams.
Students are graded according to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) standard promoted by the European Union. The assessment system complies with the 2022-2023 internal study regulations. The average grade for a course or module is used to assess the efforts made by each student and to help them make decisions about their academic and professional choices.
It includes elements of continuous assessment, the evaluation of various assignments and the grade obtained during the semester assessments.
Under the direction of the School Director, the school jury meets once a year to decide on the case of each student (passing, repeating, reorientation).
Students validate their year with 60 ECTS (i.e. 30 ECTS per semester) and an average of 10/20 per module, bearing in mind that 5 is an eliminatory mark for a course.
In addition, all the educational requirements must be met:
- Compulsory minimum 4-month work placement
- Final dissertation
- Professional activity report
- Oral presentation
- Personal development (participation in school life)
Any student who fails to obtain an average of 10/20 in a module will be invited to the make-up session to repeat the examinations set by the examining board.
If a block is not validated after the make-up session, the student must repeat the year and does not retain the benefit of any potentially validated blocks.
A second School Jury will take place after the catch-up session to decide on the case of each student: conditional passage for 2-year sandwich students, repeating the year, reorientation, exclusion, gap year.
