International Pre-Master

Discover the 2-year MSc option, the extended course that makes a Master of Science accessible to students holding a 3-year bachelor’s degree!

Delivered on the Rouen campus, this programme serves as a gateway to a Master of Science for students with a three-year higher education qualification (French Licence or Bachelor’s degree).
The programme is also open to students with academic backgrounds in non-business-related fields.
This first year of study in the International Pre-Master provides an overview of the core areas of business studies and culminates with the selected Master of Science in the second year.
Please indicate your preferred Master of Science programme when preparing your application.

Layout of the programme

This course was designed to…

• Open access to MSc degrees for profiles missing qualifications for direct entry
• Guarantee success at the MSc level by laying strong foundations during the Pre-Master year
• Diversify career orientation by switching to a new field of specialisation
• Overview the main areas of knowledge included in an undergraduate business degree

Evaluation procedures

The programme is recognised through a dual validation:

• Ongoing assessment: evaluations conducted throughout the length of the programme in the form of individual or collective reports to be submitted
• A final evaluation: performed at the end of the course, it can be done under different forms – it is, for the most part, individual

At the end of the programme, the programme participants have to validate 60 ECTS credits.

If some modules were not validated and thus no credits were earned, the programme participant can redo the evaluation during a period set up for this purpose.
