Presentation
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 intended for students who do not meet the prerequisites for the traditional Bachelor's Degree in Economics program, but whoare highly motivated to succeed in this program.
It allows a group of 30 students to complete their first year of economics in two years, with twice the number of teaching hours in the core subjects of the economics degree (mathematics, statistics, microeconomics, and macroeconomics). This program promotes progressive learning, enhanced educational support, and individualized monitoring of students.
At the end of the two-year Réussir program, students who have earned 60 ECTS credits will enter the second year of undergraduate studies. They will then be able to continue their studies under conditions comparable to those of the traditional program.

Organization
Knowledge assessment
The Bachelor's Degree in Economics, Success Track, structured over four years and eight semesters, is based on an assessment system designed to measure students' learning progressively and comprehensively. At the end of each semester, the skills, competencies, and knowledge acquired in each Teaching Unit (UE) are assessed in one of two ways: continuous assessment or a final exam.
Continuous assessment allows for regular monitoring of student progress through several forms of evaluation: supervised assignments, graded tutorials, presentations, projects, document analysis, and active participation in class. This method encourages attendance, regular work, and the gradual acquisition of skills.
The final exam consists of a written or oral test held at the end of the semester. It aims to assess the student's overall mastery of the concepts taught and their ability to apply their knowledge in a structured and in-depth manner.
Depending on the course units, teaching methods, or learning objectives, some units may combine both assessment methods. These methods ensure fair and diverse assessment that is tailored to the nature of the course, while allowing students to develop methodology, rigor, and autonomy throughout their academic career.
Internships, supervised projects

A true immersion in the professional world, it allows students to apply the knowledge they have acquired in class, discover how organizations work, and compare theory with practice. To get the most out of it, serious preparation is essential: learning about the host organization, defining your objectives, mobilizing your skills, and preparing for professional demands.
During a bachelor's degree, internships are possible and optional. They must be related to the course of study.
The internship may begin at the end of the second semester exams or be completed during university vacation periods. In all cases, it must end no later than August 31, regardless of whether the student is enrolled in a Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, or University Diploma program.
Please note: students may only begin their internship immediately after the second semester exams if they have successfully completed their year in the first session.

Recommended prerequisites
Have a strong interest in economics
The Réussir program is designed for students who are passionate about economicsbut whose foundations in quantitative subjects (particularly mathematics) are considered insufficient to directly enter the traditional program. A strong motivation to invest in a demanding two-year program is the first criterion for success.
Be willing to consolidate and develop quantitative skills
Students must be prepared to commit to twice the number of hours in these fundamental subjects. The aim is to rebuild a solid foundation for rigorously analyzing the decisions of economic agents.
Enroll in a program offering enhanced, personalized support
Unlike the traditional program, which requires immediate independence, candidates can request educational support. This involves regular attendance in small groups (approximately 30 to 40 students) and active participation in tutoring and monitoring by the designated teacher.
Ability to work in a team and in small groups
Learning in a small cohort requires interpersonal skills in order to fully benefit from the group dynamic and the methodological support offered.
And after
Continuing education
At the end of the two-year Réussir program, students who obtain these 60 ECTS credits enter the second year of the Economics bachelor's degree program.
