WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE1st cycle of the grande école program?
The Grande École Program – 1st, 2nd and 3rd years allows us to develop the autonomy, collaborative spirit and sense of responsibility of our students thanks to caring and demanding educational supervision.
The first cycle is designed to alternate semesters of courses on our Paris or Lyon campuses, one or two semesters in a partner university, and a semester of professional experience, which logically marks the transition to the Master’s cycle (4th and 5th years of the PGE).
Finally, the first cycle ends with a semester of “pre-specialisation” courses on our Paris or Lyon campuses, enabling our students to take a course corresponding to our Master’s specialisations.
