Thank you so much, frankieboy. I hope it's true. I think many of us here feel hopeful for it to be true. It's a good source besides.

[mizzy2006]

Yeah..really hope its true!! As a fan, that's a good news for me.. I know she will do it!

3) University of Paris-Sorbonne IV (2006-2007)

If Charlotte wanted to proceed onto a Master's degree at Sorbonne IV, I understand she would need two more years of study there.

If she started at Sciences Po this week, as suggested by L'llustre, would her License certificate allow her to skip entirely or part of the 3-year "first cycles" (les premiers cycles) and proceed to the Master's program of two years?

Well, I hope the Trio hasn't given up on their studies - all their friends (Tatiana, Ernst, and Christian included) seem to be pursuing their studies, but those three don't seem to be finishing anything. I hope they are just taking some time off and will resume their studies, otherwise, their friends surpass them in the realm of formal education.

Tatiana is a graduate student at the New School, NYC. She has an Art History degree from American Intercontinental University in London. I assume that she is pursuing the same subject at New School, but I don't know for sure. New School is actually a bunch of different schools and I don't know which one Tatiana is enrolled in. I would assume she's in the Eugene Lang College (the liberal arts department for New School) but who knows?

I guess I can tell you for sure it's McGill, a (reliable) friend of mine was there at the same time.

That's cool. Thanks. I was thinking it was either McGill or that French école that Montreal has. -->see here
I hope we find out soon if Char is really at Sciences Po and what course she is on, whether the Premiers Cycles or the Masters.

Maybe it's like what we call here in the States an internship. Whatever you are studying, you have a semester to work in the field it represents, so maybe if journalism is of interest to her, she's doing an internship with a London newspaper to see what she'll experience day-to-day.

[zembla]

I think she's probably done with school, the report in People Magazine was most likely true...probably just trying to build up her resume now...

I guess if she passed that test she would've continued but maybe having a boyfriend in London now influenced her decision as well...makes sense. And she's grown now...

Charlotte is working for the independent - does that mean that she has finished to study?

I think she just started to study two years ago . . .

Looks like she's done...there was an article in People Magazine back in July about how Charlotte had become bored with her studies and wanted to change direction.

It appears that her post-bac education has been three years, two at Fenelon, and the last completed at University Paris-Sorbonne IV towards the license in philosophy. Maybe Zembla is right that Charlotte is building up a resume, but another possibility (?) is that she is enrolled in a program and part of the requirement is a period of internship.

[talula]

^Would a licence in philosophy be considered as a BA?

[CasiraghiTrio]

Degrees offered by University of Paris-Sorbonne IV
License (three years, divided in L1-L3, unless like Charlotte you have first two years completed in a "classe preparatoire" like Fenelon)

Master (2 years, M1 and M2)

Doctorat (Doctorate) like the US Doctorate diploma, where you work for maybe three years on research for a thesis, participating in seminars.

So, does it mean after she completes her internship she will graduate? I think now its normal to have 3 years degree program and follow by internship program, then you can continue your service with the same company. Just like me, except that I didnt accept the offer by my previous employer...

I like the idea that Charlotte will continue her career as a journalist working with press. Maybe we can expect her to extend her experience in media electronic soon than we can see her interviewing somebody else...

Ok...I am being too demanding now...

[zembla]

I just think it's funny that after all these years being a main target...Charlotte may end up as a member of the press...LOL

[iloveroyals]

What Charlotte has chosen to do reminds me of her mother, when she was writing articles, at about the same age, and Caroline Kennedy, who worked as a sort of news photographer, and the other Kennedy family member, her cousin Maria Shriver, who chose to work in television and interview celebrities, just to turn the tables on people for a change.
Anyway, this field is full of possibilities.
