Some courses are organised every two years. The even or odd nature of the academic year is determined by the beginning of the year (the academic year 2024-2025 is an even year).
Providing the jury approves, students have the chance to use a course, in a focus, in the corresponding subject taken in a partner university within the framework of an Erasmus or other type of exchange.
