Advanced Master’s in Total Quality Management (FPMs – Faculty of Engineering)

- An average of 13/20 in the secondary diploma is required (in the absence of a numerical mark, “assez bien” (or equivalent) is required as a minimum. If no grade is given, the file will be forwarded to the Faculty). In addition, only A, B and C grades are considered sufficient to meet the 13/20 requirement in subjects included in the “Advanced Level – General Certificate of Education” (a qualification awarded on completion of upper secondary education in the UK education system, in some Commonwealth countries and in other countries).
- An average mark of 13/20, excluding final year work, internships or other professional integration activities, or in the absence of a numerical mark, “assez bien” (or equivalent) (without prejudice to a more in-depth evaluation of the student’s academic record by the faculty board), is required for the final year(s) of study taken into account in the evaluation of the application for admission, as well as a mark equal to or higher than 13/20 for personal work (final year work, internships or other professional integration activities). In the absence of a grade, the file will be forwarded to the Faculty.
