They’ve become core to personal and professional success.
- Our Open Bachelor’s develops intellectual flexibility thanks to the wide array of perspectives (economical, political, technological…) to understand global issues such as climate change, technological transformation, migrations or inequalities.

3 years to personalise your Bachelor’s
Most high school students have often little idea of the subjects in which they are required to specialise at university, especially in the special way they are taught. That’s why, students are left free to explore a wide variety of subjects in Year 1 before making their choice of major(s) or a major/minor combination in the following years.
Year 1: Exploration Year
Students select 10 courses they want to explore among the following subjects:
- Data Science and AI
- Management & Innovation
- Economics
- Politics & International relations
- Psychology
- Leadership
Year 2 & 3: Specialisation
At the end of Year 1, students select their major(s) or major/minor in which they will specialise in years 2 and 3. To validate their major, students must have validated at least 20 ECTS in Year 1 (4 courses out of a total of 10 courses per year).
- Available majors are: Data Science & AI | Management & Innovation | Economics | Politics & International Relations
- Available minors are: Management | Innovation | Economics | Politics | International Relations | Psychology | Leadership
