*For French speaking students. Foreign students who are not fluent in French, are required to take classes of French at ESSEC instead of this ISUP course, as well as to do a study and report comparing the French regulation with that of their own country (required by the 'Institut des Actuaires', from Fall 2023).
Be careful from the Academic Year 2022/2023 - some additional work is required to non French speaking students :
To replace those two courses, non French speaking students are requested to prepare an UV Research "Regulation" comparing the principles between French law and the law of their own country, writing down a report which will be graded.
