BUDDY PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
In cooperation with the student association ECE – International, the International Relations Office offers a Buddy Program for international students.
As part of this initiative, students from ECE provide the newly arrived international students with active advice and assistance. International new arrivals will receive individual support from the moment they arrive, including information on recreational activities, creating a timetable and finding a room. The aim of the Buddy Program is to promote intercultural encounters between French and international students.
ECE International is a student association of ECE. It organizes many events for the French and international students of the school: tastings, trips, visits, etc.
GRADING SYSTEM
The French grading system is an absolute grading system. Grades in France and at ECE are awarded on a scale of 0 to 20. 20 being the highest and 0 being the lowest. Grades from 10 to 20 are considered as « pass ». The passing grade that allows students to obtain credits for each subject is 10/20.
ECTS – The European Credit Transfer System
The ECTS system is used by universities and schools for exchange students. ECTS allows credits taken at one higher education institution to be counted towards a qualification studied for at another. When applying for an exchange programme you will need to submit a Learning Agreement.
The Learning Agreement should include all the learning outcomes the student is expected to acquire during the exchange; each course is credited with an ECTS credit. The number of ECTS credits allocated to each course unit is calculated based on the overall volume of work required for the student to meet the learning outcomes at the end of that course unit. It does not only include course attendance hours but also covers practical learning activities and the student’s
Recognition of academic qualifications
60 ECTS credits represent the workload for one academic year and, therefore, as a general rule, 30 ECTS credits are equivalent to one semester of study. ECTS credits, indicate the required workload to complete a study programme, or a module within a study programme. ECTS points only indicate workload; they do not indicate a grade.
The Transcript of Records will only be sent to the International Office of the home university up to 6 weeks after final exams.
Only the courses included in the Learning agreement will appear on the official Transcript of Records.
