Modalités

Modalités d'enseignement

The students have to form working groups in order to tackle a specific topic about the EU, starting from one of the general chapter above. They are asked to write a paper between 20 and 30 pages, following a defined proceeding and then, to make a presentation in front of the class to introduce their subject.

The courses and presentations of each subject rely on Powerpoint presentations. The slides are then sent to the students so they can use them to study for the exam

The final grade will be composed of the grade of the final exam and the one of the writing paper and presentation done by the students
