INTRODUCTION TO THE COLLEGE OF LAW AND ECONOMIC SCIENCES

1/Welcome note from the dean

Dear Students,

On behalf of all the teaching and administrative staff here at the

Faculty of Law and Economic Sciences in Brest, I would like to take this

opportunity to welcome you to France, and more particularly to Brest

itself.

This booklet will guide you through the necessary administrative

procedures linked to your studies, and will also provide you with other

useful information about living and studying in Brest. We know that

settling into a new country can sometimes be a bit daunting, so please

do not hesitate to contact us for any advice or support. Our job is to

provide you with the best possible working conditions, and to ensure

that your time spent here at the University is both a fulfilling and a happy

learning experience.

The International Students’ common room is located on the ground floor

of the main building, where mentor lecturers will be on hand to welcome

you and answer any queries you may have.

We are delighted to welcome you to the Faculty and we wish you all the

very best for both your studies and your time spent here in Brest.

Béatrice Thomas-Tual

Dean

5/Higher education qualifications in FranceAn overview of the L.M.D. system (licence, master, doctorat degrees)

A brief introduction to the French higher education system

and its place within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA)

European grades or levels

The following degree courses correspond to three levels or grades that are recognized throughout

all member countries of the EHEA. For all courses, students must have successfully completed

the French Baccalaureate (the bac) or its equivalent qualification in the student’s home country.

Licence: A three-year course which is the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree

and comprises six semesters

Master: A two-year course which is the equivalent of a Master’s degree

and comprises four semesters (after the Licence)

Doctorat: A three-year course which is the equivalent of a PhD

Undergraduate and Postgraduate Degrees (intermediate)

DEUG: A two-year undergraduate degree course

Maîtrise: A four-year postgraduate degree course

Advantages of the L.M.D. system:

A better comparison of equivalent qualifications throughout Europe

Students can study in other universities across France or in any EHEA member country

Better transparency of degrees on the job market

Students can choose their learning pathways according

to their study plans and their vocational needs


Course Units (TUs) and ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits

The course unit lies at the heart of the system and can combine several subjects and comprise

different teaching methods (lectures, classes, coursework, etc.). Each course unit has a

corresponding ECTS credit value that takes into account the workload required to achieve the course

unit. Every semester, course units totalling a maximum value of 30 credits can be obtained, or, in

other words, one validated semester is worth 30 credits. A specific number of ECTS credits must be

obtained for successful completion of a degree. For example:

Licence: 180 ECTS credits

Master: 120 additional ECTS credits. (For example, students must obtain 180 credits

from the Licence plus an additional 120 credits for the Master)

ECTS credits are recognized and used in all EU member countries.

Your studies within the French Higher Education System

In France, the academic year is divided into two semesters:

Semester 1 runs from September through to December and is followed by midterm examinations.

Semester 2 runs from mid-January to mid-April and is followed by final examinations.

You can select your options from the Licence and Master 1 courses and then confirm your choices to

the Registry.

In accordance with French law and international agreements aimed at promoting student mobility

(particularly between different European countries) a certain number of credits are accorded to

each course unit. These credits are accumulative and transferable and correspond to the work load

involved. One taught semester is worth 30 credits. Once you validate a course unit or a semester,

the corresponding credit values are permanently banked. The accumulated credits are transferable

between different study programmes and also between national and international institutions that

recognize ECTS credits.
