7 baccalauréat
baccalauréat [bakalɔʀea]masculine nounb. (au Canada = licence) ≈ BA━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━The bac, as it is popularly known, is the school leaving examination all French « lycée » students take in their final year. Before beginning their baccalauréat studies, pupils choose a specialization known as a « série », represented by an initial letter: a bac with a scientific bias is known as a « bac S » (for « scientifique ») while an arts-oriented bac is referred to as a « bac L » (for « littéraire »), for example. When the word bac is followed by a plus sign and a number, this refers to the number of years of formal study completed since obtaining the baccalauréat qualification: « bac + 3 » refers to the « licence » or equivalent, « bac + 4 » to the « maîtrise » etc. These abbreviations are often used in job advertisements to indicate the level of qualification required.* * *known informally as the bac, is an examination sat in the final year of the lycée ( la terminale), so usually at age 17 or 18.

12 Grandes Ecoles
The French higher education system is different from that of other developed countries, and the pinnacle of the system is represented not by universities, but by classically French institutions known as "Grandes Ecoles". Unlike most university departments, which are open to all students with a relevant baccalaureate, Grandes Ecoles operate a highly competitive selection process. The classic way to train for these competitive entrance exams ( concours) is to take two years' extra classes, known as Classes Préparatoires, in Lycée, after theBaccalaureate.

13 HEC
The Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales, a grande école located in Paris, is France's top business school. Founded in 1881, it is now (since 2008) part of a larger organisation called "Paris Tech". HEC is run by the Paris Chamber of commerce (see CCI), and is reputed as one of the best business schools in the world, indeed classed top in the Financial Times European business schools league table in 2005, 2006 and 2007.HEC offers 380 places per year in its first year of study, and with almost 4,000 candidates per year is the Grande école with the most competitive entry. The degree course, which includes at least 20 weeks abroad, and an internship, lasts 3 years, meaning effectively that most students do not graduate until five years after their baccalaureate (2 years of prépa to prepare for entry, then 3 years of HEC once accepted). HEC also offers MBA qualifications. -
14 Khâgne
The first year of classes préparatoires in the litterary stream. Students who have just passed the litterary or economics/social baccalaureate, and who want to take the concours (competitive entrance exams) for certain grandes écoles, may well choose to stay on for two more years at lycée, in small select classes called khâgne and hypokhâgne, rather than enrol in large classes in the first two years of university arts or social science faculties.
