European credit transfer system (ECTS)
The School’s 5-year course is compatible with the European higher education framework (bachelor’s – master’s – doctorate). The teaching modules follow the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), facilitating exchanges with other universities abroad.
The marking system in France is from 0 to 20.
ECTS | F (not validated) |
E | D | C | B | A |
France | 0-9 | 10 | 11 | 12-13 | 14-15 | 16-20 |
Marks above 18/20 are very rare.
If you fail to validate a module after failing an exam, you can usually – depending on the teacher concerned – resit the exam.
