Oral exam (June)
In second session, the entirety of the written exam's material will have to be studied and presented, regardless of the passed/failed parts during the written exam. If one the the two parts (written exm/oral exam) is passed in the first session, the related mark will be maintained in the caulculation of August's mark (except if the student wishes to re-sit the concerned part, in which case the mark obtained in August will automatically replace the first session's, be it better or worse).
