Program outline and aims
This high calibre program with an international reach is designed for highly motivated students who wish to develop an international profile, excellent
knowledge in Economic Sciences and great ease in English and German. This is possible thanks to partnerships with English, German and
Slovak-speaking universities. Students' mobility is an important aspect of the program. Students' are required to spend between 6months and a year
outside of France. All language classes are taught in a language other than French. Some Economics classes will also be taught in English or
German. This program is typically aimed at local high school students having successfully completed the international or European sections of the
baccalaureate: lycée franco-allemand de Buc, lycée de Sèvres, lycée international de Saint Germain en Laye, lycées de Versailles et de St Quentin en
Yvelines. A nationwide recruitment campaign is also planned. Furthermore, an integrated curriculum in collaboration with a German university is being
considered.
Successful Bachelor Plan:
Working closely with the Career services / Direction de la Réussite et de l'Insertion Professionnelle (DRIP), UVSQ has put in place a set of strategies
as part of their Successful Bachelor Plan to help students cope with their studies.
Strategies include:
- tutoring sessions in mathematics and statistics, and micro-economy for 1st year students.
- personalised career services (Students' personalised project / Projet Personnalisé Etudiant (PPE)) to increase students' awareness about their career
opportunities.
PPE is a progressive step by step approach. It is delivered over 6 semesters within the Bachelor's degree (S1, S3, S5 and S6).
- S1 tailoring of the curriculum
- S3 discovering careers (by sector, discipline…) and study pathways
- S5 promoting your professional profile (CVs, cover letters, interviews, trade shows…). This 3rd stage helps students look for work
- S6 a period of internship of at least 4 months in a company or organisation or your choice.
The program's components
The program's multidisciplinary approach can lead the way to a double Bachelor's degree. During the first 3 semesters, management subjects are
offered to help students familiarise themselves with their chosen field.
This program aims to produce a solid training ground for economic analysis; its tools and applications in the different areas of Finance and
International Economy. The program emphasises theoretical and practical knowledge (fields, debates and current issues). In particular it aims to
develop knowledge in:
Page 1
- current issues in international economy: institutional framework of exchanges, globalisation, international commerce dynamics, companies'
international strategies, financial globalisation, regional polarising of exchanges.
- international finance: international payment systems, current change risks, goods transportation risks, non-payment risks, country risk assessment,
raw materials, environmental risks.
Besides classes in finance and international economy, the bachelor's program offers cross-competency classes in a range of fields of practices and
areas of specialisation: statistics, econometrics, observation and analysis of economic situations, financial accounting, marketing, management control,
project management, information systems.
The language stream offers advanced training in English and German, which includes language studies as well as social and literature studies. This
will provide students with the necessary linguistic and cultural skills to work in a French company established outside of France, a foreign company
established in France or, generally speaking, a company engaged at European level.
This program is unique because it aims to give students a practical mastery of English and German and to develop their capacity to adapt to specific
professional contexts, in order to take on the role of cultural mediator.
Skills acquired
This program relies on acquiring knowledge and tools necessary to understand organisations' economic and social environments within an
international context. More specifically, this program provides the foundation for the acquisition of cross-disciplinary skills as well as specific skills
that students can then use in their future careers. The acquisition of a combination of general, cross-disciplinary and specialised skills, fits within a
lifelong learning approach to studying, and enables students to be more flexible and adaptable when faced with change.
The double Bachelor's degree provides theoretical and practical tools (computer literary, database management, statistical software) most useful to
people in management positions within business or financial organisations, consultancy agencies, administration services. Students learn to add-value
to their analysis through oral and written communication skills.
The double Bachelor's degree enables you to acquire general and cross-disciplinary skills: knowledge of the history of economic theories and the
basics of micro and macro economy, computer literacy, mastery of statistical and mathematical software, survey techniques, understanding of
cross-disciplinary approaches, mastery of oral and written communication (in French, English and German), organisation skills, adaptability to an
international and multicultural context…
This double degree enables the acquisition of specialised skills:
Observation, analysis and presentation of an economic situation, economic data and accounting measures (statistics and understanding of economic
and accounting data), standardised economic analysis, modelling of an economic phenomenon.
International exchanges
Students' mobility is an important aspect of the program. Students' are required to spend between 6 months and a year outside of France. Some of the
partner institutions are located in the UK, the USA (about ten institutions) and in Germany (currently being negotiated)
Conditions of admission
This program is typically aimed at local high school students who have successfully completed the international or European section of their
baccalaureate with (lycée franco-allemand de Buc, for instance).
A nationwide recruitment campaign is also planned.

Future careers
The double Bachelor's degree aims to prepare students interested in carrying out an international research project to undertake a double Masters in
Economic Sciences / Languages. It is also part of an international research cooperation project.
Upon completion of their studies, students may have several options.
Students enrolled in the long degree program who have successfully completed their 3rd year can enrol in a Master's degree by coursework in
economy and management, or a Master honour's degree on a research topic of their choice, or yet again sit business schools, civil service and schools

Students enrolled in the short degree program (option labour market integration) who have successfully completed their 2nd year can enrol in a
professional Bachelor's degree at UVSQ or elsewhere (Assistant human resources manager, Logistic assistant, Bank customer relations officer, Real
