Description:
Créé par décret du 4 mai 1948, l'établissement est depuis 1970/71 géré par un Conseil d'administration formé de représentants élus des étudiants, des enseignants et du personnel administratif et technique ainsi que des personnalités extérieures à l'Université parmi lesquelles le Président de la Fondation Nationale de Science Politique et le représentant du Directeur général de la Fonction Publique.

Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?

Personal comments:
This one-year course included modules in politics, economics and growth of the EU. This provided me with the opportunity to experience university life in France. All lectures and tutorials were given in French. Initially, this was quite a challenge but I quickly learned to adapt and persevere. It also made me aware of the different teaching and learning techniques used in France
