Master Economie internationale (International Economics) - Minerve Excellence Course - GPEX

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.

The curriculum, offered entirely in English, meets the needs of national and international companies, institutions, design offices and research centers.

The aim of the Master's program is to lead to direct professional integration for students at Bac+5 level, and to enable those who wish to continue their studies to pursue a doctorate. Fifteen of our graduates have been accepted into doctoral programs at the Université d'Orléans or other academic institutions (e.g. Université Paris Saclay).
