Teaching method

Retour en début de pageStrong points of the pedagogical approach

The different pathways on offer provide the student with the chance to construct his course according to his skills and interests and thus gain relative autonomy in his training. The different areas of study in the programme offer a coherent, high-quality set of courses.
♦ Structure which helps promote interdisciplinary : in the master 60, it is the student's choice (geared towards the programme's interdisciplinary courses) which holds sway.
♦ Variety of teaching strategies (including e-learning) : use of different types of multimedia for meridional languages.
♦ Diverse learning situations : individual and group work, seminar and lecture work. Tutorial for the end of study work ('travail de fin d'études' or TFE).

Students are evaluated in many ways : through work and oral/written exams.

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.
