CURRICULUM CONTENT - FRANCE
What follows is the description of the curriculum structure
at the University of Paris 5, Institut de Psychologie. This
university is the oldest course (started in 1920), it has a
large number of students (4500) and the largest orientation
possibilities (9 DESS and 3 DEA). In a sense it cannot be
considered representative of the other universities because
most of them are more specialised, but a few of them offer
orientations that are missing in Paris 5.
