Practice
Check and clarify your understanding of the subject.Most specialty courses take the form of a dialogue with the teachers. In this way, you can check your understanding of the subject as you go along, and clarify it. Repetitions and quizzes are offered regularly.For all courses, lectures are enriched by the commented reading of articles or extracts from philosophical works. Thanks to your personal assignments, you directly confront the study of precisephilosophical questions, become familiar with research and are introduced to the philosophical dissertation.
How can you prepare for the exams?
Study regularly, acquire good methods, but also get to know the teachers' requirements and their way of questioning.In the first year, formative assessments are organized in early November on at least one of the most voluminous subjects. Teachers correct your papers, comment on them and organize group correction sessions. Following these assessments, the Cellule d'Appui Pédagogique organizes individual assessment interviews and offers more personalized follow-up, particularly in French.These tests do not play a part in the grades awarded at the end of the year. They are merely a training tool to help youaccount for the teachers' level of demand and judge the effectiveness of your work.Beyond the first year, you adapt your effort more effectively to the nature and importance of each subject in the program. As a result, you no longer benefit from regular quizzes, other than as part of tutorials.
Exam organization
January, June and, if necessary, August... three sessions to prove your mastery of the subjects.In January, you sit the exams on the 1st term courses. If you fail, you can retake the relevant exam in June and/or August. Three chances to succeed, but only in the first year. From the second year onwards, any exam failed in the January or June session is automatically carried over to the August session.According to the choice of the teachers, exams may be assessed either in writing or orally. Assessment procedures are specified during the first course and are detailed on the university website.Verification of knowledge gained from technical courses is almost continuous; it relies above all on your personal work completed during the year.You conclude your training by demonstrating, through your end-of-cycle work, the acquisition of personal reflection.

Participez à des séances de coaching avec vos professeurs.Sur demande, les professeurs vous accompagnent pour renforcer vos compétences en langue et vous aider à mieux maitriser des éléments spécifiques (grammaire, rédaction…). Cet encadrement peut avoir lieu en présentiel ou à distance (par exemple pour les étudiants en Erasmus).
How can you prepare for the exams?

After the first year, you can adapt your efforts more effectively to the nature and importance of each subject in the program. As a result, you no longer benefit from regular quizzes, except in the context of tutorials.
Exam organization
January, June and, if necessary, August... three sessions to prove your mastery of the subjects.In the 1st annual block (first 60 credits), you must sit all the exams on the 1st quadrimester courses in January. If you fail, you can retake the exam in June and/or August. Three chances to pass. Thereafter, any exam not passed in the January or June session is automatically carried over to the August session.Exams can be either written or oral.Teachers give preference to open-ended questions and take care to combine oral and written modalities to test different language skills. Several teachers use formulas aimed at the creative application of knowledge to texts not dealt with in class. For many courses, a significant proportion of the results are determined by written work or personal or group presentations.Language skills acquired during exercises are generally assessed on an ongoing basis (active participation) or in the form of individual or group work.Each teacher informs you of his or her requirements and examination modalities. Several teachers communicate sample questions orally or on the intranet.Verification of knowledge acquired in technical courses is almost permanent; it is based above all on personal work completed during the year. Language courses are also accompanied by regular tests.You conclude your training by demonstrating, through your end-of-cycle work, the acquisition of personal reflection.
