It is not intended to destabilize or put candidates in difficulty, but rather to clarify the orientations of the programme with respect to the candidate's expectations and skills in order to guarantee a successful course of study.
It can take place online or face-to-face on our campuses, depending on the conditions of reception given by MESRI.
