in addition to literary subjects (philosophy, French literature, history and languages). The khâgne B/L was created in 1983 in Henri-IV and Lakanal high schools at the same time as a corresponding entrance examination was created at the ENS rue d'Ulm. The goal was to attract good high school students who majored in sciences to literary and social studies. Both the curriculum of a hypokhâgne and a khâgne B/L is composed of the following subjects, which are considered of equal importance: Mathematics (6 hours per week) whose curriculum is similar to the ones of business CPGEs. Social sciences (6 hours per week) which encompasses economy, sociology, and objects commonly studied by those two subjects. French literature (4 hours per week), unlimited curriculum. History (4 hours per week). The curriculum encompasses "World history from 1918 to the present" and "French history from 1870 to the present" and is taught during the two years of the classe prépa. Philosophy (4 hours per week), unlimited curriculum. A compulsory modern language (2 hours per week) An extra option (4 hours per week): extra classes in the compulsory modern language, or another modern language, or an ancient language or geography. Sport (2 optional hours per week) The khâgne B/L prepares students to take the entrance examinations of various schools: ENS Ulm (25 places) ENS Paris-Saclay (18 places) ENS of Lyon (10 places) ENSAE (20 places) (National School of Statistics and Economic Administration) attached to France's National Institute of Economic and Statistical Information (INSEE) the National School for Statistics and Analysis of Information (ENSAI) Business schools (ESSEC, HEC, ESCP Business School, EDHEC, École de management de Lyon, Audencia, etc.) the French military academy Saint-Cyr the national school for archivists and librarians, École nationale des chartes Communication schools (IFJ, etc.) and journalism schools (CELSA, etc.) Instituts d'études politiques (IEP, Sciences Po) the Engineering school (Management/Advanced mechanics) (ISMANS) University The majority of khâgneux B/L and A/L go on to study at a university once they have completed the khâgne, though an increasing number of khâgneux enroll in grandes écoles such as business schools or engineering schools (ENSAE, ENSAI, etc.). During their studies in classe préparatoire, students are simultaneously enrolled at a university so that the years spent at the classe prépa are recognized by universities: a student having completed the hypokhâgne is allowed to enroll in the second year of university in a chosen subject; a student having completed
