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

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

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.

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.
![Page 15: TABLE OF - climax-education-bachelor.com · world, Climax Education also adapts and offers the possibility to follow this rigorous and unprecedented training via an e-leaning platform](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051900/5fef5bc175df9b71697aa34d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

to master the computer skills that will be necessary to your career and your job applications.

means to pay all of your tuition fees to Climax Education. We invite you to include in your

without counting on any outside help or public subsidy.
