Madame, Monsieur bonjour,
Je suis actuellement en 2ème année de BTS Commerce International en France et je compte continuer mes études en Corée du Sud.
Dans le cadre de mon BTS, j’ai eu la chance d’effectuer 2 stages à Séoul dans l’entreprise dotrade, et je compte dans le futur apprendre le coréen et continuer à travailler dans cette entreprise.
Pouvez-vous m’expliquer le système GPA, est-ce l’équivalent des ECTS européens, ou est-ce une conversion des notes obtenus à notre dernier examen (BTS ou BAC) ?
Je vous remercie par avance de votre réponse et vous souhaite une excellente journée.
Cordialement.
Ewen Cassiaux
