In conjunction with the multidisciplinary programme in the social sciences common to the entire Undergraduate College, students have the opportunity to study the political, economic and social issues of North America.

Students taking this English-language programme explore transatlantic relations through a comparative approach to studying institutions, history, law, sociology, international relations and humanities.

Students can study one of the languages offered on the campus: English, Spanish, German, Italian or Arabic, as well as attending French as a foreign language classes for students who do not have a B1 level of French.

Students are able to initiate and take part in debates, conferences, study trips, and sports and cultural events, giving them a strong sense of empowerment.
