When two parts of the Specialised Translation Workshops are failures, the EU will not be validated, regardless of the overall result obtained.
If, despite an overall result equal or superior to 10, the student has two failures, the final overall result will be calculated by averaging the two failures, and the failed parts will have to be retaken during the August session.
In case of global failure, the failed part(s) will be retaken.
If the EU is not validated at the end of a year, all the fields (legal, economic, scientific and technical) must be presented the following year.
A mark of 0/20 in one of the parts will, regardless of the overall result, mean that part will have to be retaken.
