The grandes ecoles are higher education institutions outside the French university system. Degrees from the grandes ecoles are normally awarded upon completion of 5 years of study (300 ECTS). They are usually focused on one subject specialization, such as engineering or business, and are highly selective in the admission of students. The classes preparatoires aux grandes ecoles are classes which prepare students for admission into the specific grande ecole subject specialization. Classes preparatoires usually require 2 years of study and may be offered in a high school or at the grande ecole. These classes are considered post-secondary in level, regardless of where they are held. Upon completion of the classes preparatoires, the student takes a concours (entrance examination) for admission to the grande ecole.
