How to understand the course codes (Catalogue des formations)

Check http://formations.univ-larochelle.fr/ (Catalogue des formations)

For example in the code ANGL 113605 :

• ANGL means it’s an English language class.
• 113 means its in Applied Languages (LEA). These first three numbers indicate the field of studies, or the specialisation.

Other examples are :

• 111 - Geography
• 112 - History
• 114 - Lettres

The next number, the 6 of ANGL 113605 indicates the semester in which the course it taught. In this case 6 means the course is run in the 6th semester, or the second semester of the third year.The final two numbers, in this case the 05 of ANGL 113605 indicate the course number itself. Thus ANGL 113605 is the 5th course in a group of English courses taught in the 6th semester of LEA.

In the code “EC libre”, “EC” means “élément constitutif” which means one optional course among others. Students should note that they can only choose to study one EC libre. That’s because EC libre subjects are proposed by individual teachers and they are all taught at the same time, which presently is on a Tuesday evening.
