French grading system
In France, we use a 0 to 20 scale to report the grades. The grading scale goes from the top grade “19-20 points” for an outstanding performance (rarely awarded) until the bottom grade “0 point” for a very poor performance (or “no show”). The passing mark is at “10 points”. Above “10 points”, the corresponding grades are “10-11 points” = C, “12-14 points” = B, “15-16 points” = A and “17-20 points” = A+.
An exam period is organized at the end of each semester. During that week, exams will be organized for some of the courses. The other courses are tested during or after the lectures (continuous assessment). They will be included in your final grade. Each professor informs their students of the exam procedures.
French as a Foreign Language (Master's degrees students)
Upon their arrival, all students attending one of the masters’ degrees taught in English take a French placement test in order to be enrolled in the appropriate language-level group. Students are prepared for the DELF, the internationally-recognized French examination, to be held at the end of the academic year.
A week-long intensive course taught in September before the beginning of the Master’s courses.
The students will then attend intensive French language classes throughout the year, approximately eight to ten hours per week. Other intensive courses are organized in December and April. Altogether the students will benefit from 240 hours of French during their Master studies at IGR-IAE Rennes.
Activities and day trips are organized by the French professors in order to discover Rennes and its surroundings, and get the best cultural experience.
