Students must do a 3-month internship during the first two years of the programme.
During the first two years, at the same time as classes, students must lead or participate to professional missions linked with the content of the programme. These missions must be of at least :
- 1 to 2 half days per week during the 1st year
- 20 days during the 2nd year
These professional missions are limited working missions, on a short period of time. Their objective is to implement the techniques learnt in class. In order to build their professional project, students will have to undertake a minimum of 4 missions in a company in at least 2 different sectors related to the content of the programme.
• Contrôle des connaissances et compétences
During the 1st and 2nd years of the Bachelor Management et Gestion des Entreprises OPEN, capacities and knowledge
assessment is done under continuous assessment (minimum of 2 tests during the semester) and a final week of examination. Each subject followed during the semester will be assessed by a final examination.
For the OPEN subjects, there will only be one evaluation at the end of the semester.
Each campus, according to local markets, can propose 3 other subjects that are not presented in the study guide.
Professional missions done in semesters 1 and 2, will be presented in a report for each semester. Professional missions
done during the 2nd year will be presented in an activity report.
Internships 1 and 2 will be evaluated with an internship report.
At the end of the first 2 years, students will participate to an Oral Defence during which they will present their complete professional practice and its impact on the construction of their professional project.
Equal opportunity: students who present a disability, proved by a medical certificate, will be given an additional third-time to write their exams.

See Calendar at the end of the document
• Graduation
Grades are on 20 points, the average being 10 points.
To graduate, students must meet the following criteria after the retake session:
- obtain to all subjects a grade of at least 6/20
Exception: grades related to professional practice (Professional practice from S1 to S4 and Internships at the end of S2 and S4) must be equal or higher than 10/20
- obtain a general average of at least 10/20
- obtain at least 60 ECTS.
Students who will not have obtained the minimum grade to one of the subject will have to register for the retake session. The grade obtained at the retake session will cancel and replace the previous grade, whether it is higher or lower. A student who will not have validated all subjects during the previous semester could be accepted in the following year under the following conditions:
-have a maximum of 4 not-validated subjects after the retake session ;
AND
-have a general average equal or higher than 10/20.
The student will have to participate to the following retake session until validation of all subjects, necessary condition to obtain the degree in year 3.
All other cases will be discussed by a jury after the retake session. If the jury decides not to give the degree to the student, the student can re-sit the exams within 2 successive years.
Questionable grades must be made in written form to the course leader and will be appreciated by the study unit coordinator.

• International transcript of records
Transcripts of records are both in French and English and appear with ECTS credits and grades for each subject. 1 ECTS = 20 to 30 workload hours
ECTS (European Transfer and Accumulation System) is a learner-centred system for credit accumulation and transfer based on the transparency of learning outcomes and learning processes. It aims to facilitate planning, delivery, evaluation, recognition and validation of qualifications and units of learning as well as student mobility. ECTS is widely used in formal higher education and can be applied to other lifelong learning activities. ECTS credits are based on the workload students need in order to achieve expected learning outcomes.
The ECTS grade scale goes from A to FX as follows:
ECTS grade % of successful students normally achieving the grade
Description of the grade
A 10 EXCELLENT - outstanding performance with only minor errors
B 25 VERY GOOD - above the average standard but with some errors
C 30 GOOD - generally sound work with a number of notable errors
D 25 SATISFACTORY- fair but with significant shortcomings
E 10 SUFFICIENT - performance meets the minimum criteria
FX - FAIL - some more work required before the credit can be awarded
F - FAIL - considerable further work is required
• Diploma supplement
With their degree, students will be given an Europass Diploma Supplement.
The Diploma Supplement accompanies a higher education diploma, providing a standardised description of the nature,
level, context, content and status of the studies completed by its holder.
The Diploma Supplement aids mobility and access to lifelong learning opportunities. It promotes transparency in higher education and fair and informed judgements about qualifications. It also accommodates rapid changes in qualifications. National higher education institutions produce the supplement according to a template jointly developed by the European Commission, the Council of Europe and UNESCO. Each graduate should receive the Diploma Supplement automatically, free of charge and in a major European language.
