Certificate of Administrative Studies (CEA)

Description

The Certificat d'Études Administratives (CEA) is an introductory distance-learning course in public administration. It enables people seeking training to acquire the tools and methods they need to prepare for administrative competitive examinations.

The CEA takes place over one academic year, and leads to a Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA certificate.

The courses are available 24 hours a day, so you can study at your own pace while keeping to the course timetable.

The CEA offers 10 online teaching modules, spread over two semesters from September to December and from January to May. 

Students are assessed on the basis of continuous assessment throughout the year, with an average of one assignment per week. A high level of commitment is therefore required, as is familiarity with computer tools.

A final oral is held at the end of April (by distance or in person, as the student chooses) to close the course.
The dissertation must be defended at the end of the course. The defense can be done remotely.

Access to the course is via an entrance examination, details of which can be found by clicking here.
