Organization
Knowledge control
Teaching units are assessed by continuous assessment and/or written and oral final exams. They are definitively acquired once the student has obtained an average grade, and are assigned a coefficient and European credits. Compensations are made over the semester on the basis of the overall average of grades obtained in the various teaching units, weighted by coefficients. Two assessment sessions are organized for each semester.
Special features
This Master 2 is unique, both nationally and regionally, in that it offers students dual skills in business law and taxation, with an equivalent amount of time allocated to each of these subject areas.
