Knowledge control
Knowledge control procedures
In each Teaching Unit (UE), skills and knowledge may vary. This may involve a final exam, and/or continuous assessment and/or validation of attendance at certain courses. The assessment methods chosen for each UE are published definitively no later than one month after the start of the academic year.
There are two examination sessions per year:
- A first session at the end of each semester.
- A second session at the beginning of July, during which each student will sit for the UEs not validated during the first session.
The validation of a UE is pronounced by the jury after deliberation when the student has obtained a mark equal to or higher than 10/20.
Program
Courses are organized in semesters, with each semester corresponding to a volume of 30 ECTS (European credits), i.e. 60 ECTS per year.
Lessons are given in the form of :
- Lectures (either face-to-face or via digital media),
- Tutorials (directed teaching).
During the 3 years of training, internships are organized in hospitals, private facilities and private practices.
