What is a National Master’s Degree?

The countries of the European Area have implemented a common degree system (LMD) enabling at the same time better visibility at the international level, better understanding of equivalences and better insertion into the labour market.  

The LMD system proposes:

• the Licence degree (equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree), which is a bac+3 degree (a degree obtained after 3 years higher education);
• the Master’s degree (professional or research), which is a bac+5 degree (a degree obtained after 5 years higher education);
• the Doctorate, which is possible after a Research Master’s degree.  

The Master’s degree is defined by a Discipline, which is divided into Fields of Study that are further subdivided into Specialisations. There are two phases to Master’s degree courses: one, known as M1, comprises the common core curriculum for a field and the second, known as M2, represents a specialisation.
