Academic Framework and Grandes Ecoles
The mainstream universities are public in nature that provide professional, technical, academic and scientific degrees to students who have completed their high school education. The degrees awarded, termed as cycles in France, are offered at 3 different levels. The students are helped in the preparation of the university entrance exams in the school itself. The most famous courseworks among the students of France are hospitality, fashion, designing, interiors, economics, technology and tourism. Then, there are Grandes Ecoles, extremely competitive to get in, specialised schools that offer intensive courseworks and have a three year degree program to offer in subjects like public administration, business, engineering or management. The Grandes Ecoles provide a master’s degree to students once the students qualify the three year rigorous program.
