General preparation

Description of the course

This course allows candidates from various backgrounds to obtain the basics or to consolidate the fundamentals and to specialise in the optional modules, in order to pass the admissibility tests for category A competitions.

The preparation is based on fundamental lessons (general culture, public law, economics, public finance) and methodological lessons (dissertation, summary note, practical cases, languages), interspersed with weekly written assignments.
