The university colleges offer a quality education in close partnership with applied research, universities, and socio-professional environments. The pedagogy focuses on the needs of the learner and the world of work. Theoretical and conceptual elements are also part of the programme.
The university colleges offer:
- Short courses of study organised in a single cycle and leading to a “Professional” Bachelor’s degree (1st cycle - 180 to 240 credits). Some university colleges also offer a year of specialisation (60 credits) at the end of this unique cycle: Specialised Bachelor.
- Longer courses of study split into two cycles leading to a “Transitional” Bachelor’s degree (1st cycle - 180 credits) and a Master’s degree (2nd cycle - 60 to 120 credits).
