In the lesson of the job interview they review to "univeristy" in the english translation but in french the word i think it is in reference is "bac" is that a slang term or another name for university?
french says: vu ma formation de Bac plus 4
english says :four years at university
Thanks

Bonjour,
Excusez-moi for the late reply. In the dialogue for that lesson the "Bac" refers to the Baccalaureate which is the exams that are taken at high school. In the dialogue it further adds, "Bac plus 4", that is to say your high school education plus 4 years at university.
I hope this helps, even if it's late - J'éspère que cela vous aide, même si c'est en retard.
