The programme in English
Certificat d'Etudes Politiques (CEP, 2 semesters) or Attestation d'Etudes Politiques (AEP, 1 semester).
The students follow two compulsory courses (French language and French history and civilization) and must choose at least 3 courses among those offered in the 1st, 2nd and 4th years (1st year Masters). They can choose one course taught in foreign language at the most.
Diploma of Political Studies in English (DPSE, 2 semesters) or Certificate of Political Studies in English (CPSE, 1 semester).
The programme offers a general introduction to the political, social, and cultural landscapes of France and Europe, and examines important issues and debates in France today; all classes are taught in English. The curriculum takes the form of 5 compulsory modules per semester over two semesters. Each of these modules is worth 6 credits per semester and is composed of either one 20-hour course (6 ECTS) or two 10- hour courses (2x3 ECTS). Within these five modules is a compulsory French course – French as a Foreign Language (FLE) – which comprises 4 or 2 hours a week over 12 weeks (48h -6 ECTS or 24h-3 ECTS) in each semester. For the students whose level in French is sufficient, they have to choose a lecture in French. This lecture will be selected among the “conferences de méthodes” offered in the Institute of Political Studies‘ programme that is compatible with the students’ schedule. This class will account for 3 ECTS per semester. The remaining four modules are within the relevant field in the social sciences.
The DPSE or the CPSE is awarded to students achieving an overall average mark greater than or equal to 10/20. Students who do not achieve an overall average mark of10/20 will only be awarded the credits for those courses in which they have achieved the average mark.
If students enrolled in Diploma of Political Studies in English obtain satisfactory results in French at the end of the first semester, they may request a transfer to the French Certificate of Political Studies programme in semester 2, giving them access to a wider range of classes, mainly taught in French.
