Information on the French and European academic system
ECTS, three-cycle system, M1, M2, …. What can these terms possibly mean, when describing higher education in France and in Europe?
The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS )
In the EU, the international validation and recognition of degrees and courses is based on a common credits system (European Credit Transfer System). The ECTS credits obtained by any student can be capitalized and transferred, e.g. if the student’s academic pathway involves several universities. 1 ECTS corresponds to 25 to 30 hours (in classroom + personal work).
The three-cycle system
French higher education degrees are organized according to a common European structure composed of
three cycles (Bachelor-Master-PhD). This takes into account years or semesters validated since entering higher education (and their corresponding ECTS):
- Bachelor = 6 semesters (180 ECTS)
- Master = 4 semesters (120 ECTS)
- PhD = 6 semesters
Master Year 1 – Year 2
The master course, which can be entered after completing a bachelor degree, is obtained with 4 validated semesters, i.e. 120 ECTS. Master studies are completed within 2 years usually called “M1” (1st year) and “M2” (2nd year). The national master degree awarded is accredited by the National Higher Education and Research Evaluation Agency (AERES).
Co-accredited masters
Several EHESP masters are co-accredited or delivered in partnership. A co-accreditation means that two higher education institutions deliver and sign the degree jointly.
Advanced master
The “advanced master” is a post-master degree of 2 semesters minimum, based on lectures, individual research work within a company or organization, the writing of a professional thesis and a viva. The “specialist master” is accredited delivered by the “Conférence des Grandes Ecoles (CGE)”.
