Bachelor's Degree in Economics, "Réussir" Track

The Bachelor’s Degree in Economics (Réussir track), which spans four years and eight semesters, is based on an assessment system designed to measure students’ learning progress in a gradual and comprehensive manner. At the end of each semester, the skills, competencies, and knowledge acquired in each course unit (UE) are assessed through one of two methods: continuous assessment or a final exam.

Continuous assessment allows for regular monitoring of student progress through various forms of evaluation: proctored exams, graded tutorials, presentations, projects, document analyses, and active participation in class. This approach encourages regular attendance, consistent work, and the gradual acquisition of skills.

The final exam, on the other hand, consists of a written or oral test administered at the end of the semester. Its purpose is 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 learning outcomes or learning objectives, some units may combine both assessment methods. These approaches ensure that assessments are fair, diverse, and tailored to the nature of the course.

Students with disabilities, young entrepreneurs, and elite athletes can receive personalized support.

This may take the form of academic accommodations, pedagogical adjustments, or specific rights, in order to enable students to best balance their personal or professional commitments with their university studies. Depending on the situation, these measures may include an adapted class schedule, modified assessment procedures, attendance accommodations, individualized support, or dedicated support services.

A true immersion in the professional world, it allows students to apply the knowledge they’ve acquired in class, discover how organizations operate, and compare theory with practice. To get the most out of it, thorough preparation is essential: learn about the host organization, define your goals, draw on what you’ve learned, and prepare for professional demands.

During the bachelor's degree program, internships are available but optional. They must be related to the program of study. 

The internship may begin after the second-semester exams or take place during university breaks. In any case, it must end no later than August 31.

Have a strong interest in economics
The “Réussir” track is designed for students who are passionate about economics but whose foundation in quantitative subjects (particularly mathematics) is deemed insufficient to enter the standard track directly. A strong motivation to commit to a demanding two-year program is the primary criterion for success.

Be willing to strengthen and develop quantitative skills
Students must be prepared to commit to double the number of class hours in these core subjects. The goal is to rebuild a solid foundation for rigorously analyzing the decisions of economic agents.

Enroll in an intensive, personalized support program
Unlike the traditional track, which requires immediate independence, students in thisprogramcan seek academic guidance. This involves regular attendance in small classes (approximately 30 to 40 students) and active participation in tutoring and follow-up sessions with the assigned instructor.

Ability to work as part of a team and in small groups
Learning within a small cohort requires interpersonal skills to take full advantage of the group dynamics and the methodological support provided.

Upon completion of the two-year “Réussir” program, students who earn these 60 ECTS credits advance to the second year of the bachelor’s degree program in Economics.
