Assessment procedures
The study year is divided into two semesters, with the last week reserved for exams.
Grading conforms to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) standard promoted by the European Union. The assessment system complies with the 2024-2025 internal regulations; the average grade for a course or module is used to assess the efforts made by each student, and to help them make the right academic and professional choices.
It includes elements of continuous assessment, the evaluation of various assignments and the grade obtained in semester tests.
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).
A student validates his or her 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 pedagogical requirements must be met:
- Compulsory internship of at least 2 months in 1st year and 4 months in 2nd year
- Professional thesis
- Continuous assessment + ESLSCA final exams
- Academic projects
- Case studies
- Real company cases
- 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 retake the exams defined by the passing jury.
If a block is not validated after the make-up session, the student must repeat the year and does not retain the benefit of potentially validated blocks.
A second School Jury will be held after the catch-up session to decide on the case of each student: conditional passage for 2-year alternating students, repetition, reorientation, exclusion, gap year.
