BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN ECONOMICS

Bachelor's Degree in Economics, International Track

The Faculty of Economics at the University of Montpellier offers an international program taught in English.

Students may choose this track starting in the second semester of their first year of study.

It is based on taking, in parallel with the general track’s bachelor’s degree courses, ten core courses taught in English—two courses per semester (from Semester 2 through Semester 6). These courses replace the equivalent courses taught in French. Thus, each semester, students enrolled in the international track follow the standard bachelor’s program, with two courses replaced by their English-taught equivalents. All of these courses, tutorials, and exams are conducted in English.

This program enables students to strengthen their command of academic English and prepare for further studies or a career in an international setting. It is particularly designed for students who wish to work in multicultural environments or pursue opportunities abroad.

ISO 9001-certified, the bachelor’s degree program offered by the Faculty of Economics at the University of Montpellier guarantees the quality of its instruction, the continuous improvement of its teaching practices, and rigorous support for students throughout their academic journey.

Bachelor's Degree in Economics, "Réussir" Track

The Bachelor’s Degree in Economics is a program that draws on knowledge of mathematics and statistics to analyze the decisions made by economic agents. The “Réussir” track is designed for students who do not meet the prerequisites for the standard Bachelor’s Degree in Economics program but whodemonstrate a strong motivation to succeed in this program.

It allows a group of 30 students to complete their first year of the economics bachelor’s degree in two years, with double the number of class hours in the core subjects of the economics bachelor’s program (mathematics, statistics, microeconomics, and macroeconomics). This program promotes gradual learning, enhanced academic support, and individualized student guidance.

At the end of the two-year “Réussir” track, students who have earned 60 ECTS credits will advance to the second year of their bachelor’s degree. They will then be able to continue their studies under conditions comparable to those of the traditional track.

Bachelor's Degree in Economics, ENS Prep Track, 2nd Year

The preparatory program at the École normale supérieure (ENS), established in partnership with Lycée Mermoz in Montpellier under a cooperation agreement, has been in operation for several years. It is designed for a class of approximately forty students with high academic potential, who simultaneously pursue undergraduate coursework and prepare for the entrance exam for ENS Paris-Saclay (formerly ENS Cachan).

As part of this preparatory-university partnership, students in the preparatory program take certain courses at the university, where they take the corresponding exams. The grades earned at the university, combined with those from the preparatory program, allow students to complete their first and second years of the bachelor’s degree program.

The ENS D2 preparatory class thus offers an outstanding education in economics and management, designed for motivated students with a strong academic background, particularly in mathematics, up through the baccalaureate. It opens the door to a wide range of opportunities, both for further study—entrance exams for the grandes écoles, IEPs, and selective university programs—and for professional careers in the public and private sectors.

Bachelor's Degree in Economics, CPES Track - Modeling and Computation in Economic Sciences

The University of Montpellier and Lycée Joffre offer a CPES (Preparatory Program for Higher Education)in Modeling and Computational Methods in Economics. This selective three-year program, jointly organized by the high school and the university, leads to a bachelor’s degree and provides students with a sought-after dual set of skills, including an introduction to research beginning in the first year.

Students receive enhanced guidance from preparatory class instructors and university faculty members. The first year combines a core curriculum in computer science, mathematics, the humanities, and general education with specialized courses tailored to the student’s chosen track. Specialization occurs gradually, accompanied by projects and internships that introduce students to research.

The CPES program’s unique structure alternates between high school and university: in the first year, students spend four days at high school and one day at the university to delve deeper into coursework and work on projects. In the second year, time is divided equally between the two institutions, and in the third year, the bachelor’s degree program takes place entirely at the university, with additional courses designed to strengthen digital and computer skills.
