Compétences à acquérir :

Cet enseignement vise à fournir aux étudiants une culture comptable suffisante pour intégrer les grandes évolutions du capitalisme. La comptabilité est ici perçue comme étant l’instrument du capitalisme financier. Pour cette raison, une dimension historique et comparative est largement ancrée dans l’enseignement.

Cette approche ne fait pas l’économie de l’apprentissage des techniques comptables visant à enregistrer les flux économiques et financiers qui traversent l’entreprise. L’idée est de bien faire comprendre qu’un résultat comptable est une construction sociale, fruit de tensions entre acteurs aux intérêts divergents (actionnaires, salariés, Etat,…).

La dimension internationale fait partie intégrante de l’enseignement car les systèmes comptables continentaux et anglo-saxons sont systématiquement mis en perspective et discutés.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This course focuses on the crucial macroeconomic concepts: gross domestic product, economic

growth, inflation, the interest rate, unemployment. First, the course examines how economic

agents relate by analysing national accounts. Then, there is an investigation onto the causes of

long term growth. This is followed by a study of the financial sector. With all these instruments,

there is an analysis of the determinants of aggregate supply and aggregate demand distinguishing

between the short-run and the long-run, with a special focus on how monetary and fiscal policy

work. The course finishes with a study of the recent financial crisis.

Compétences à acquérir :

Learning Outcomes

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This course is an undergraduate-level introduction to political science.

The course, in broad terms, comes in two halves. The first part deals with different aspects of international politics most relevant to the Euro-Atlantic area, examining shifts in the European security environment as well as the institutional mechanisms for managing competition amongst nation-states in the contemporary world. Here, the aim is to furnish students with an understanding of the way in which international relations have evolved since the end of the Cold War. The second part deals more directly with the foundations of political organisation, critically evaluating with students key concepts such as democratic govoernance, freedom and social movements.

Focusing on political order in the domestic and international contexts, this course explores the nature of political organisation and the causes of conflict. It is a course in its own right to reflect on

the political underpinnings of the contemporary European states system. But it also serves as a foundation for more specialised courses in Political Science/ International Relations at the graduate level.

Compétences à acquérir :

This module introduces the principles of political organisation in both domestic and international politics. By the end of this course, students will have acquired the empirical knowledge, theoretical understanding and transferable skills necessary to analyse, explain and evaluate institutions, politics and legitimacy. Students should further be able to discuss critically, and write knowledgeably, about major issues in politics.

At the end of the course, students should be able to think, talk and write in an informed, critical and theoretical manner about on-going developments in political organisation in domestic and international system.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

The course aims at providing the fundamental macroeconomics theories with a specific focus on the description of a general equilibrium and the consequences of economic policies on economic growth and unemployment. The IS-LM/AS-AD model will be developed in both a context of perfect and imperfect competition. Impact of economic policies will then be studied under different time horizons highlighting the degree of rigidity of prices and wages. Shock of demand (mainly fiscal policy, monetary policy and mixed policcy) and shock of supply (productivity, variation of wages) will be simulated through numerical exercises and multipliers computations. A significant portion of this course is dedicated to quantitative modelling and chart analysis as support of key economic concepts.

Compétences à acquérir :

By the end of this module, students will have demonstrated:

Knowledge

1. An ability to describe in details the interelations between the different types of markets (goods market, monetary markets, securities markets, labour markets) and to comprehend by which mechanism a general equilibrium could be achieved.

2. An ability to analyse the consequences of economic policies (especially monetary, fiscal and mixed policies) under different time horizons (short, medium, long term).

3. An ability to compare a situation of imperfect competition and a situation of perfect competition on the determination of a general equilibrium and the implication on the efficiencies of economic policies in the two contexts.

4. An ability to understand how productivity gain and change in real wage would impact the general equilibrium, especially in the good and labour market.

Skills

5. An ability to determine mathematically a general equilibrium given the different functions and economic behaviours of economic agents.

6. An ability to compute and calculate multipliers under different time horizons for different types of policies (fiscal, monetary, mixed policies)

7. An ability to illustrate graphically a general equilibrium and how a supply or demand shock would impact this equilibrium on the different markets considered.

8. An ability to use and adapt economic concepts studied in class on new topics, situation, context.

Values and Attitudes

9. An ability to take responsibility for their studies in and outside of class and to be proactive and take initiative for further individual development.

Compétences à acquérir :

Cet enseignement vise à fournir aux étudiants une culture comptable suffisante pour intégrer les grandes évolutions du capitalisme. La comptabilité est ici perçue comme étant l’instrument du capitalisme financier. Pour cette raison, une dimension historique et comparative est largement ancrée dans l’enseignement.

Cette approche ne fait pas l’économie de l’apprentissage des techniques comptables visant à enregistrer les flux économiques et financiers qui traversent l’entreprise. L’idée est de bien faire comprendre qu’un résultat comptable est une construction sociale, fruit de tensions entre acteurs aux intérêts divergents (actionnaires, salariés, Etat,…).

La dimension internationale fait partie intégrante de l’enseignement car les systèmes comptables continentaux et anglo-saxons sont systématiquement mis en perspective et discutés.

This course focuses on the crucial macroeconomic concepts: gross domestic product, economic growth, inflation, the interest rate, unemployment. First, the course examines how economic agents relate by analysing national accounts. Then, there is an investigation onto the causes of long term growth. This is followed by a study of the financial sector. With all these instruments, there is an analysis of the determinants of aggregate supply and aggregate demand distinguishing between the short-run and the long-run, with a special focus on how monetary and fiscal policy work. The course finishes with a study of the recent financial crisis.

Compétences à acquérir :

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This course is an undergraduate-level introduction to political science.

The course, in broad terms, comes in two halves. The first part deals with different aspects of international politics most relevant to the Euro-Atlantic area, examining shifts in the European security environment as well as the institutional mechanisms for managing competition amongst nation-states in the contemporary world. Here, the aim is to furnish students with an understanding of the way in which international relations have evolved since the end of the Cold War. The second part deals more directly with the foundations of political organisation, critically evaluating with students key concepts such as democratic govoernance, freedom and social movements.

Focusing on political order in the domestic and international contexts, this course explores the nature of political organisation and the causes of conflict. It is a course in its own right to reflect on

the political underpinnings of the contemporary European states system. But it also serves as a foundation for more specialised courses in Political Science/ International Relations at the graduate level.

Compétences à acquérir :

This module introduces the principles of political organisation in both domestic and international politics. By the end of this course, students will have acquired the empirical knowledge, theoretical understanding and transferable skills necessary to analyse, explain and evaluate institutions, politics and legitimacy. Students should further be able to discuss critically, and write knowledgeably, about major issues in politics.

At the end of the course, students should be able to think, talk and write in an informed, critical and theoretical manner about on-going developments in political organisation in domestic and international system.

This unit aims to give the students an overview of basic probabilities concepts as well as a descriptive statistical toolbox to summarise, organise and present data in a meaningful way.

This course aims to provide students with a first toolbox of basic data analysis techniques. When provided with a set of data in any other field in their curriculum, they should then be able to conduct a simple analysis and summarise the information contained in those data. The course also aims to educate students on the complexity of statistics and figures so that they keep a critical look when reading statistics and studies both in their academic and everyday life. Finally, it is a foundation for the year 2 Statistics course that will introduce more advanced statistical theory and techniques.

Compétences à acquérir :

Même si l’enseignement dispensé au second semestre met davantage l’accent sur la dimension technique, ce dernier vise à fournir aux étudiants une culture comptable suffisante pour intégrer les grandes évolutions du capitalisme. La comptabilité est ici perçue comme étant l’instrument du capitalisme financier. Pour cette raison, une dimension historique et comparative est largement ancrée dans l’enseignement.

Cette approche ne fait pas l’économie de l’apprentissage des techniques comptables visant à enregistrer les flux économiques et financiers qui traversent l’entreprise. L’idée est de bien faire comprendre qu’un résultat comptable est une construction sociale, fruit de tensions entre acteurs aux intérêts divergents (actionnaires, salariés, Etat,…).

La dimension internationale fait partie intégrante de l’enseignement car les systèmes comptables continentaux et anglo-saxons sont systématiquement mis en perspective et discutés.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

Companies are obliged to inform their various stakeholders (current or potential shareholders, banks or bond holders, suppliers or customers, employees, the State or various public bodies, etc.) of their financial situation. To do so, they regularly (at least once a year) produce financial statements. Financial accounting is the process of producing these financial statements. It is an information system, gathering financial information in a structure designed to enhance and convey communication, so that individuals can assess risks, success, health and prospects of the company

Anyone who can read these financial statements, who understands the meaning of the data they include, is able to understand and judge the financial reality of the company, to give an opinion on its financial situation, and becomes a decision maker

The goals of the 'Financial Accounting' course are :

• Find out what information is needed to understand the company's financial situation
• Know the financial statements produced for this purpose, what they contain, how they are structured, where to find key figures => semester 1
• Be able to control the process of producing accounting information (bookkeeping) and, therefore, financial statements = semester 2

Pré-requis obligatoire :

None

Compétences à acquérir :

From September to December, the first semester is dedicated to the discovery of financial statements. It is called 'Understanding financial statements'.

The learning outcomes are :

- Discover the company stakeholders and different steps to create and run a company. Learn the technical vocabulary

- Describe the financial reality of the company that the financial statements aim to transcribe : notions of financing necessity, investments and operating activities (commercial, industrial, services)

- Discover financial statements : balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows. What do they include and why ? How are they presented ? Where is located an information.

-Measure the net income, profitability, liquidity of the company… judge the company's performance.

- Understand major accounting rules and principles and their meaning (accrual basis system, double party system, matching principle…)

- Explain articulation and complementarity of financial statements. Introduction to consolidated financial statements.

- read and understand financial statements of a publicly traded company, as they appear in its annual report / registration document. Discover goodwill.

Pré-requis obligatoire :

Maîtrise de la langue française

Compétences à acquérir :

L’initiation au droit public a d’abord pour objet une étude élémentaire de la notion d’E´tat.

Apres avoir distingué le droit public et le droit privé, le cours présente les différentes branches du droit public: le droit constitutionnel, le droit international public, le droit européen et principalement le droit de l'union européenne, le droit administratif.

Cette présentation repose, pour chaque branche du droit public étudiée, sur l'analyse d'un exemple tiré de l'actualité la plus récente.

Par exemple, l'étude du droit de l'UE (ses institutions, ses compétences, ses mécanismes de décision, les rapports entre l'UE et les Etats membres,) a été conduite à travers la question du Brexit ou l'année suivante à travers l'adoption le cadre financier pluri-annuel auquel se greffe le plan de relance budgétaire pour faire face à la crise liée au Covid19)

A l'issue du cours, les étudiants maîtrisent les notions essentielles de droit public, connaissent les principales institutions politiques, administratives et juridictionnelles et sont capables de comprendre le fonctionnement du système juridique français placé dans un contexte européen et international.

The course

Social sciences and methods - Sociology pursues a twofold purpose, theoretical and methodological. Indeed, it aims at providing students with an initiation to sociological thinking, with a historical and epistemological perspective, through the presentation of major authors who contributed to the foundation of sociology and through the reading of selected writings. In parallel with this theoretical formation, a methodological training is provided for student to acquire a methodology of academic work (reading and understanding reference texts, problematization, writing reading report and commentary, academic writing of comprehensive dissertation/essay). This course also constitutes a preparation to the 2d semester course

Social sciences and methods – Political sciences.

The course is structured into 4 parts:

1. General introduction: definition of sociology, reminders of the two revolutions of the 18th -19th centuries, presentation of sociologists in history
2. Alexis de Tocqueville and the process of equalisation of conditions
3. Karl Marx and class struggle
4. Max Weber and the rationalization process

Compétences à acquérir :

Different fundamental notions are thus approached in the course: the social bond, democracy, individualism, solidarity, capitalism, modernity, the process of rationalization…

Students are also expected to be durably able to fulfil academic expectations, in this discipline and others.

Mode de contrôle des connaissances :

In addition to the work done during the semester in each group (a dissertation for 70% of the grade and other works that can be oral presentation, quiz, reading report… for 30% of the grade), the students are evaluated at the end of the semester by a 2-hours dissertation inviting them to produce a reasoned reflection around the concepts studied in class.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This is not a traditional class, based on knowledge to acquire, quite content oriented etc.

It is based on soft skills awareness and practice, group cohesion, and quite relation oriented.

The period represents a great change for students, who are no longer at secondary school, sometimes away from home for the first time, sometimes new in the Paris area, facing high level standards in their studies, ready to look for an internship for the first time maybe, about to relocate in Germany etc.

The idea is to improve the self awareness about whom we are, how different we are, and thereby, improve the group cohesion, the ability to work in a project and relate with others in a tolerant manner, with a positive mind-set, the ability to cope with pressure if any, to adapt one’s communication when needed etc.

The under lying approach is based on the positive psychology and on the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) personality inventory.

Pré-requis obligatoire :

No prerequisites

Compétences à acquérir :

- Improve self-knowledge and awareness: strengths, values, frame of reference, basic preferences (MBTI) etc.

- Develop assertiveness (attitude toward conflict, communication skills)

- Develop group cohesion, tolerance and performance (active listening, creativity, cooperation)

Mode de contrôle des connaissances :

No performance assessment, no grade.

Yet, this is a mandatory module that requires to be “validated”.

The criteria for “validation” are the following:

Attendance, punctuality and commitment during the class: global attitude, active listening, useful questions or feedback and teamwork.

• Non violent communication, Marshall Rosenberg
• Gifts differing, Isabel Briggs Myers (to understand better the MBTI indicator, and the Carl Jung personality theory)

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

Based principally on the French, British and German cases, the teaching focuses on the institutional framework and the historical evolution of representative government. To this end, the long-term construction of the modern state and its effects on political competition are studied.

The conditions for the emergence and consolidation of representative government from the French Revolution to the Third French Republic are then studied. It reviews the reference to the Athenian democratic heritage and its current relevance, the constitution of the "Nation" as a principle of sovereignty, the affirmation of election and representation as mechanisms for the devolution of political responsibilities, the social apprenticeship of universal suffrage, the evolution of the political and social environment surrounding elections, and finally the political professionalization within the institutional framework of the Third French Republic.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This is not a traditional class, based on knowledge to acquire, quite content oriented etc.

It is based on soft skills awareness and practice, group cohesion, and quite relation oriented.

The period represents a great change for students, who are no longer at secondary school, sometimes away from home for the first time, sometimes new in the Paris area, facing high level standards in their studies, ready to look for an internship for the first time maybe, about to relocate in Germany etc.

The idea is to improve the self awareness about whom we are, how different we are, and thereby, improve the group cohesion, the ability to work in a project and relate with others in a tolerant manner, with a positive mind-set, the ability to cope with pressure if any, to adapt one’s communication when needed etc.

The under lying approach is based on the positive psychology and on the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) personality inventory.

Pré-requis obligatoire :

No pre requisites

Compétences à acquérir :

- Improve self-knowledge and awareness: strengths, values, frame of reference, basic preferences (MBTI) etc.

- Develop assertiveness (attitude toward conflict, communication skills)

- Develop group cohesion, tolerance and performance (active listening, creativity, cooperation)

Mode de contrôle des connaissances :

No performance assessment, no grade.

Yet, this is a mandatory module that requires to be “validated”.

The criteria for “validation” are the following:

Attendance, punctuality and commitment during the class: global attitude, active listening, useful questions or feedback and teamwork.

Bibliographie-lectures recommandées

• Emotional intelligence, Daniel Goleman
• Non violent communication, Marshall Rosenberg
• Gifts differing, Isabel Briggs Myers (to understand better the MBTI indicator, and the Carl Jung personality theory)

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

Im zweiten Semester erweitern wir die Perspektive auf gesellschaftliche und politische Themen, die Anlass zu Diskussionen und Debatten geben. Dabei beziehen wir uns eng auf die Aktualität in den deutschsprachigen Ländern. Jeder Kurs beginnt mit einer Presseschau und einer Diskussion bezüglich der jüngsten Ereignisse (Politik, Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft, Sport…). Anhand unterschiedlicher Unterlagen (Presseartikel, Videos) zu bestimmten Themen wird versucht, den Sachverhalt zu verstehen und zu besprechen. Interkulturalität spielt hier eine große Rolle: es gilt, das deutsche oder französische Verhältnis zu einem Thema zu verstehen. Dabei berücksichtigen wir die Geschichte und die historischen Besonderheiten der jeweiligen Länder.
