A new Bachelor's degree, based on a multidisciplinary and a skills-based approach, to give young people the ability to be ACTors of change

The Bachelor ACT is a new Bachelor's degree program launched by ESSEC and CY Cergy Paris Université, which aims to give young people the ability to be ACTors of change.

Multidisciplinary and based on an active pedagogy and a skills-based approach, its objective is to enable students to master the management of projects in the service of ecological, civic and societal transitions.

Learning is based on concrete cross-disciplinary projects and the teaching staff is made up of experts committed to the subjects of transitions.

Top 3 Learnings

1. The competency-based approach, which relies on a transdisciplinary approach, requires a real dialogue between teachers in the service of a common project.
2. Developing a program on ecological and social transitions requires embodying the topics and being consistent from the recruitment of students to the modality of evaluations.
3. It is necessary to integrate in the pedagogy the desire of young people to act, thanks to real projects, which give meaning to the teachings while reinforcing employability.
