THE PROFESSIONAL DIMENSIONLearn via enterprise

> An obligatory work experience programme

So that you can become familiar with hands-on work

experience, you must undertake a number of work

placements of at least two months in your first year of

study and at least four months in either your second or

third year of study. You will also be required to do a

further minimum four month experience period at the end

of your degree course (600 hours). This last work

experience must be associated with your degree

specialisation. For students who go directly into a job

after graduating, this can be counted as your end of

degree work experience.

> A company project

During your studies, you will also have to work on a

company project of your choice. This will be done as part

of a team, and will enable you to reflect upon the business

and its environment, and will play an important role in

developing your professional competence.

> A dynamic relationship between studentsand companies

This facilitates the integration of students in companies

and is supported by regular meetings with company

representatives during various recruitment fairs, and in

conferences run by recognised professionals.

> Accompanying you in your studies

The teaching faculty plays a very important part in our

education system, by filling various roles not only as your

professor but also as your tutor during your studies here.

Your tutor is here to help you in your work, to follow your

progress, to help you find your work experience

placement, to prepare for your transfer abroad or to help

you choose a university abroad where you wish to

continue your degree.

Throughout your studies at SKEMA, we will work to prepare you to enter the professional world. For that we have put in place the following initiatives:

> The best of the French and English-speaking education systems

There is a balance between the strengths inherent in the

French and English-speaking education systems -

flexibility, a quest for personalization, interactivity, and a

very French-approach which values intuition, a capacity

for abstraction, with the emphasis on the formalization of

concepts. This is a system which combines several

pedagogical approaches:

• continuous assessment,

• emphasis on individual study,

• interactive classes,

• student participation,

• development of observation and abstract thought,

• group interaction,

• the use of multimedia (video, e-learning platform, web)

THE BACHELOR DEGREE RECOGNISEDTHROUGHOUT THE WORLD

> How will my course be organized?

The degree courses are modelled on an American degree –

four years in duration, containing four categories of

courses:

• general education courses which everyone takes,

regardless of their subject specialization - Economics,

Mathematics, Humanities, Science, English and

computing;

• core courses - compulsory courses in your chosen

subject specialization;

• specialised courses - elective courses from your chosen

subject specialisation;

• electives – all other courses from which you have a free

choice.

You will normally do five courses per semester (each of 45

hours, each awarding 3 credits (some have more) which

equal 15 credits). This means that if your pass all your

courses, you will accumulate between 30-36 credits per year,

and 60-72 after two years. All partner universities require a

minimum of 60 credits (120 ECTS)* credits to transfer.

> The add-drop system

At the beginning of each semester, a meeting with the

tutor confirms your choice of classes. You can change your

choice of subject (the “add & drop” system), during the

three weeks following the start of each semester.

The Bachelor degree (or BA, B.SC) is the first qualification level of higher education throughout the world. In the United States, and many other countries, this degree is of four years duration. In the UK Bachelor degrees are Honours Degrees and are of three years duration. The difference lies in the way in which subjects are studied; US style degrees have courses which include general education, core and specialised subjects. Degrees undertaken inthe UK follow specialisations entirely throughout their three year duration. Both type of degrees will gain you accessto Masters Degrees throughout the world.

* See course catalogue for more information about the ECTS credit system

11

> THE ACADEMIC YEAR -BASED ON SEMESTERS

The academic year is based on semesters with the

opportunity to also attend a summer school.

• Fall semester (September-December)

• Spring semester (January-May)

• Summer session (optional-May-June)

> CREDITS AND GRADUATION - TWO OPTIONS

Graduating with a Dual (Transfer) Degree:

transfer 60 SKEMA (120 ECTS*) credits,

then accumulate further ECTS credits from the partner

university plus your work experience placements.

Graduating with a Single (Exchange) Degree: acquire

180 ECTS credits at SKEMA, add a further

60 ECTS credits from your exchange university plus

your work experience placements.* See course catalogue for more information about the ECTS credit system

> EXCELLING IN ENGLISH

For those students for whom English is not their first

language, or have not completed their High School

studies in English, you will be given English Language

courses which will permit you to obtain the level of TOEFL

required to graduate and to continue to study abroad.
