Introduction
A program custom-made for international students wishing to study Economics at the Sorbonne.
The PSME program is the first year of Graduate Studies (Diplome Universitaire) which offers Economics courses taught in English, together with intensive courses in the French language.
The Economics courses correspond to a full program of courses taught in the first year of graduate studies, at what is known as the M1 level in the Bologna European Academic System. The thesis which has to be prepared for the end of the first year corresponds to an MSc. thesis.
French courses are intended to prepare PSME students to enroll in the 2nd year of Master's studies (M2 level, MPhil.) in French.
PSME may apply to the regular M2 programs offered by the University of Paris with classes in French and English. Hence, former PSME students who get to the 2nd year level can access one of the most comprehensive M2 programs existing in France, which including more than 100 different courses, structures in about 20 specialized programs.
