CLIMAX BACHELOR 2019-2022

––FOREWORD FROM FOUNDING DIRECTOR

Pouvoir, vouloir, savoir, trois mots qui mènent le monde

Victor Hugo

In 2010, after pursuing a fulfilling teaching career in France and in the United States, I decided to

create Prépa Climax, and to set off – along with our faculty and our students – on a new and exciting

adventure.

Today, our institution has become one of the leading university preparatory schools in France.

The success of our programs originates from the quality of our training and the competency of our

team – composed of leading international experts and prolific academic researchers –, from an

adaptive, student- and project-oriented approach, and thanks to the

benefits of an ideal work environment, right next to the Palace of

Versailles, a few miles away from the very center of Paris, and at the

heart of Europe. Fully aware of the constraints of the contemporary

world, Climax Education also adapts and offers the possibility to

follow this rigorous and unprecedented training via an e-leaning

platform.

Since its foundation, Climax Education has helped hundreds of

students pursue their aspirations, develop their full potential, and

achieve exciting and prosperous careers in the fields of politics,

diplomacy, journalism, research, teaching and entrepreneurship,

among others.

It is our pride and joy to give our students the environment and training they need to fulfil their

ambitions, and to encourage them to become better by learning from the best, find courage in

adversity, dare explore new horizons, and eventually rise as high as their dreams may reside.

Sincerely,

Laurent Berthet

Laurent Berthet is the founder and director of Climax Education. He holds a PhD in political science from the

Paris School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS), and has taught in numerous French universities,

Grandes Écoles and political science institutes. He is the author of eight political science books, among which Tout

Sur Sciences Po, published in 2014.

BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN APPLIED GEOPOLITICS, ECONOMICS

AND LAW

This Bachelor’s Degree (180 ECTS) embodies the vision and high standards of Climax Education: it

fulfils the specific needs of international and interdisciplinary students who aim to acquire work

experience and a critical understanding of global affairs while accomplishing meaningful projects and

initiatives.

Immersed in a vibrant cultural environment, our students gain precious knowledge but also

professional practice through many internships in France and all over Europe, along with an enjoyable,

efficient and accessible linguistic training.

Thanks to numerous workshops, they take part in innovative projects, such as junior entrepreneurship

programs, creative media production, journalistic reporting, marketing strategy, coupled with the

creation of a unique non-profit organization and even that of a company.

Most of our courses are taught in English by native or bilingual teachers. Beginner- and intermediate-

level classes in French are also provided, along with optional courses in Spanish, German and

Mandarin, among other languages.

CLIMAX BACHELOR 2019-2022

EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The focus on global news has a major place in our

curriculum, from geopolitical analysis to the critical

study of the latest economic trends, along with the

evaluation of recent political and legislative action in

European and international affairs. Our objective is to

allow students to better understand and position

themselves in relation to today’s information flows, the

here and now of international affairs, to better

comprehend but also to participate in social, economic

and political transformation.

APPLIED KNOWLEDGE

Modern, efficient and intellectually stimulating,

Climax Education’s unique approach to learning

focuses first and foremost on practical application. Our

Professors are real actors (not pure theory teachers), and

their aim is to train our students to become doers

themselves, to make a real difference. From political

science to marketing, from international law to cultural

studies, the primary goal is always the real-life impact

of education and its concrete applicability.

HIGH-DEMAND DEGREE

Based on targeted research on today’s most sought-after

skillsets, our curriculum is precisely tailored to meet the

specific needs of the European and international job market.

It aims to ensure that our graduates acquire fulfilling and

profitable employment at the end of our training, or

alternatively have the opportunity to join a wide array of

Master’s Degrees for furthering their education and

specialization.

CLIMAX BACHELOR 2019-2022

TOP-LEVEL TEACHERS

Climax Education’s teachers are selected among

eminent French and European scholars – having

obtained their PhDs from its finest Political Science

Institutes, Business Schools and/or Universities. Authors

of numerous publications in their fields of expertise, they

are multilingual and most often have international

careers. Always available and enthusiastic, they know

how to bring out the best in their students. Their

qualifications, dedication and generosity are no doubt

our most precious asset.

A MODERN & INTERACTIVE APPROACH

French educational institutions are globally renowned for

their excellence and outstanding standards, but also benefit

from having up-to-date, flexible and open approaches. We

aim to perpetuate these illustrious traditions, while also

integrating a more modern, international, and

interdisciplinary method of teaching, helping our students

to embrace the past while conquering the present, creating

a study and work environment where they may gain

consistency and focus, while being able to adapt,

collaborate, lead and create.

PROJECT-ORIENTED

Through their participation in our numerous workshops,

students are involved in a wide variety of impact-oriented

projects: from entrepreneurship programs to creative media

production and field research, from marketing campaigning

to the creation of their own NGO and a company. In order to

accomplish these missions, they will have to develop

solution-oriented strategies while applying their practical

understanding of socio-cultural, political and economic

factors. These accomplishments do not only bring precious

know-how and professional experience, but also greatly boost

their ultimate employability.

CLIMAX BACHELOR 2019-2022

IMMERSIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING

Research on the requirements of European multinational companies

(CEMS) has shown that “the mastery of foreign languages and

intimate understanding of foreign cultures is an essential asset of any

prospective career.” Our students fully understand this necessity and

this is why we train them to become fully proficient not only in

English but also in French, Spanish, German and/or Mandarin thanks

to efficient and enjoyable language learning methods.

STUDY IN STYLE

Because being a better student also means

becoming a better human, and because education

also involves self-expression, well-being and

personal development, students also receive

personalized coaching and take part in many

activities aimed at boosting their communication

skills, better managing stress and teaching them

valuable strategies and life skills.

AN IDEAL LOCATION

Situated a few steps away from the Royal Palace

of Versailles, Climax Education offers a unique

opportunity to work and study in a cosmopolitan

environment and a culturally rich location that is

both inspiring, peaceful, and comfortable, while

allowing quick and easy access to the vibrant

center of Paris.

THE CURRICULUM

Our Bachelor's Degree in Applied Geopolitics, Economics and Law specifically focuses on current

global news and the analysis of the latest political, economic and legal affairs. All classes are

interactive and take place in small groups (less than 30 students per class or through E-learning), under

the guidance of competent and available Professors, who will provide the students with both

knowledge and the opportunity to apply it. Both in our classes and our workshops, a group dynamic is

created that is enjoyable and profitable for all, based on respect, involvement and mutual support.

❶ CLASSES

Based on the analysis of current global affairs, our courses allow you to start from the real world to

analyze and understand the complex issues of today. Each course will fulfill its program objectives at

the end of each year (see curriculum). Professors will present and analyze the latest national and

international events, transmitting their knowledge and providing the students with the most relevant

analytical skills. This is what we call, at Climax, the "pedagogy of reality".

INTERNSHIPS

Professional experience is vital for getting hired as a graduate – and an internship

could be your golden ticket to both. More than one-third of recruiters are unlikely to

employ a graduate with no work experience, according to High Fliers Research.

Seb Murray, “An internship could be your golden ticket to a

graduate job,” The Guardian, July 9, 2018.

Internships occupy a major place in our training: they are aimed at allowing you to acquire significant

and rewarding professional experience in order to learn-by-doing, to open up to new human and

professional horizons and to prepare your future entry into the job market efficiently, in France, Europe

and the rest of the World.

At the end of these three years at Climax, you will have accumulated a total of 12 months of work

experience through these different internships.

Paid internships take place in France and/or abroad, except the 2nd year internship, which must take

place in a non-French speaking country. You may do all your internships abroad if you so wish. They

occur within a company, a public administration or an organization, either French or international, in

order to carry out a mission decided jointly by you, Climax and the chosen firm. This mission will be

related to your professional project and established by you during your studies. Each internship, with

the help of a tutor, will lead to the writing of a report and, at the beginning of the next academic year,

a defense presentation in front of a Professor and a professional.

During your three years of study, you may also follow the Career Planning Workshop, allowing you to

learn how to write an impeccable motivation letter and to design attractive CV, how to efficiently look

for a job or an internship in the international market, to develop professional and social networking, and
