Vulnerabilities and Societies Research Center
The "Vulnerabilities and Societies" ("V&S") research center takes an interdisciplinary approach to the relationship between vulnerability(ies) and society(ies). It is the result of the merger of the Droits fondamentaux & Lien social center (formerly Droit et sécurité d'existence) and the Projucit center (Protection juridique des citoyens), which decided to join forces to reflect on the fragilities observed in our societies.

How can you prepare for writing an academic paper?
At the start of the second term, several writing workshops are organized. The aim of these workshops is to support you in writing your first academic paper, and to be able to lay the necessary foundations in preparation for the methodology (in the second year) and end-of-cycle (in the third year) papers. Each session is given in small groups.
How can you prepare for the exams?
Study regularly, acquire good methods, but also get to know the teachers' requirements and their way of questioning.In the first year, formative assessments are organized at the beginning of November in certain subjects. Teachers correct your papers, comment on them and organize group or individual correction sessions with assistants. These tests do not play a part in the marks awarded at the end of the year. They are merely a training tool, enabling you to appreciate the high standards set by your teachers, and to judge the effectiveness of your work and your ability to handle an examination situation.As soon as you start your studies, you will also benefit from specific preparation for oral examinations.After the first year, you will adapt your effort more effectively to the nature and importance of each subject on the syllabus. As a result, you no longer benefit from regular questioning, other than as part of the exercises.
