At the end of the 2nd semester, UniKL's administration would ask its student to choose 3 from 5/6 universities in France to further their studies in. Namely, Science PO (Le Havre Campus), European School of Political and Social Sciences (ESPOL, Lille), IÉSEG School of Management (Lille), SKEMA Business School (Sophia Antipolis) , Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM, Grenoble) and Toulouse Business School (TBS, Toulouse). Of course in the end you would only enter either one.
Essentially, Science PO and ESPOL offers an education in social sciences while IÉSEG, SKEMA,GEM and TBS are business schools. In short, after the foundation, you would either be stepping into the field of social sciences or business.
Each of the schools have a great connection with the foundation program's head coordinator. In order to help us understand more of their schools, each of them would organize an engagement session with the students of the foundation program where they would explain their bachelor degree's programs, the schools environment, how Malaysians are fitting in over there in France and you may even get the chance to meet with some seniors. The representatives from each school are also extremely friendly during the engagement sessions, just feel free to ask them anything that you are curious to know. Usually, these sessions takes place during the second semester of the foundation program.
I would like to highlight that, the foundation program emphasizes more on the social sciences subjects. You can see this clearly from the coefficients of each subject in each test from the table that I uploaded before this. Social Sciences subjects are such as History, Academic Skills for Science PO, Politics & International Relations and Research Project. While the closest thing related to business that the program offers is business management and economics.
Its totally normal if you are still unsure of which path to take, but I ensure you either one is fulfilling. I personally lean towards the social sciences branch. You just have to do research on your own about each school and by that you will get more sense of which school you would want to enter. contacting seniors is also a good way.
From what i've been told, all these schools seem to have a special connection with UniKL MFI, (please dont quote me on this), the french embassy are aware of malaysian's presence in France in their school, and admission usually isnt too difficult. only Science PO, this school is harder to enter than the rest, cause we are competing with everyone around the world to enter it, no special treatment whatsoever, but for other schools, the admission procedure is relatively simple and easier to get into.
