• This system was put in place by the European Community Commission in order to help students make the most of their study abroad experience. It measures and compares academic results and transfers them from one institute to another. The Faculty of Economics of Poitiers has applied this system to all the universities with which it has signed agreements (whether they are European or not).The ECTS credits are values assigned to each course for the volume of work in each course in relation to the volume of work necessary to complete a full academic year at the institute.The ECTS grading scale has been put in place by the institutions participating in the pilot program in order to facilitate the interpretation of grades obtained by the students. The ECTS grading scale in no way replaces the grading system already in place locally ; the ECTS grades represent complementary information on the grades given to the student by the institution in which he or she is studying.

1st semester : from beginning of September to mid-december,
Examination period : one week in December
2nd semester : from mid-january to beginning of May,
Examination period : mid-may (around two weeks),
