General presentation of the programme

The Bachelor's programme, which provides basic pluridisciplinary training, comprises a pool of subjects common to the Faculty as well as specific courses in Political Sciences. Thanks to the common pool of subjects, the student will have the possibility, after the January session, to re-orientate himself to one or another programme of the Faculty, if so desired.

The three year programme corresponds to 180 credits and consists of a major, an ensemble of courses, seminars and exercises, totalling 150 credits.

To widen his intellectual and professional horizons, the student may choose a minor (30 credits) which will enable him to discover another subject ; he may likewise choose to go more deeply into his major by means of an ensemble of options (30 credits). The choice of the minor and the options, must be approved by the Programme Supervisor.

The choice of a minor also facilitates re-orientation when it comes to selecting the master's programme. The role of the Programme Supervisor and of the Study Advisor is important with respect to subject choice (information, advice, etc.)

On a general level:
