(CEP) Certificate of Political Studies

The CEP is a university diploma, awarded after one year of study (60 credits) from September to June. Students must validate all modules corresponding to the 60 credits in order to obtain the CEP. Official transcripts, along with the CEP diploma if applicable, will de issued to the student at the end of the academic year.

Course

• Two compulsory and specific 22 hour modules: Institutions publiques françaises (French Institutions) and La France dans le Monde (France in the World) (4 ECTS credits each),
• Two conférences de méthode (small group seminars, continuous assessment) chosen from Français Langue Etrangère (French as a foreign language), Civilisation Française (French civilisation), Relations Internationales Contemporaines ; any 2nd or 4th year conférences de méthode spécialisées (CMS) EXCEPT Culture générale (General Knowledge) and Informatique (Computer science) ; 2nd or 4th year language classes (English, German, Spanish, Italian). 10 ECTS credits each (5 per semester),
• 176 hours of chosen modules (4 ECTS credits for each 22 hour module), for a total of 32 ECTS credits.

Assessment

The two compulsory modules, Institutions publiques françaises (French Institutions) and La France dans le Monde (France in the World) are both assessed by a three hour written exam. The other modules are usually assessed by an oral examination. The conférences de méthode are continually assessed throughout the academic year.
Students must get at least 10 out of 20 in order to pass each exam and conférence de méthode and be awarded with the corresponding ECTS credits.

The first semester exam period is in December (as from 2009), the second in May.
Students who fail the first exam session (1st and 2nd semesters) are able to take resits (2ième session) in June. The calendar for resits is defined as soon as the exam results are published (late May, early June). The marks awarded in the resits replace the first ones.
