    I'm just finished 2nd year in this course. If you want to leave a list of questions of what exactly you want to know I'm more than happy to answer them.
    Lecturers, classes, subjects, exams etc

    I got a B3 in the Leaving too. The french classes are the easy part. Very rarely does anyone ever fail the french module. I think you normally have 3 or 4 hours of french a week. They are small classes. 15-20 people. You normally have a module that focuses on grammer and then another that focuses on oral work. Yes there are presentations and projects and then a small test. I think in first year is near all continuous assessment so no exam at christmas just a smaller in class one. The only time I'd worry about your french is when you're coming to france. I'm in france now and certainly my french isn't great but in time I'm sure It improve, If you feel that you don't want to come to france after 2nd year you can transfer into business studies.

    The presentations aren't really as big of deal as you'd think. They are only in front of like 10-15 people usually and everyone has to do them eventually.


    Anything else you want to know?

    RMS the college in France is very different. Its more like school than college. Smaller class rooms of around 40 students. 12 subjects including the usual stuff, similar to what you do in dcu then theres others like logistics and HR that are new. Finance is French finance so completely different to what you do in Ireland. By the time you get here you already know general economics etc so you have something to base the new stuff on. Its similar just done in a different way, and in french. Don't be put off by the fact that its different, you get used to it! you'll get a talk soon in college about the details of the college, though most of the stuff you won't find out til you get there.
