Salut Samir !
Je remplis un dossier pour un master et on me demande mon parcours. Toi, tu as étudié en France, non ? Tu peux me dire : tu as une licence ou un diplôme ? Et comment ça marche avec les semestres et les examens (partiels / contrôle continu) ? Je suis un peu perdue… Merci !

Hi Samir!
I’m filling out an application for a master’s and they’re asking me about my academic background. You studied in France, right? Can you tell me: do you have a bachelor’s degree or a diploma? And how does it work with the semesters and the exams (midterms / continuous assessment)? I’m a bit lost… Thanks!

Hi Claire! Yes, I studied in France. I have a bachelor’s degree, which I got two years ago. The bachelor’s degree lasts three years and each year has two semesters. For exams, there’s often continuous assessment (assignments) and also midterms at the end of the semester. When I was doing my bachelor’s degree, I revised every week. If you want, I can look at your application tonight, or we can call tomorrow around 6 pm?
