Licence & Bachelor’s Degrees: Your Pathway to Academic Excellence in France

Bachelor or Licence: Two Routes to a Bac+3 Degree in France

By choosing France for your higher education, you gain access to a globally recognized academic system, a vibrant student life, and exciting international career opportunities. Whether you pursue a university Licence or a Bachelor’s degree from a specialized school, each path allows you to build a coherent and ambitious academic project.

The Licence is a degree awarded by French public universities. It spans three academic years (L1, L2, L3) and offers a strong theoretical foundation while gradually incorporating internships and professional projects.

The Bachelor’s degree is usually offered by private institutions, particularly in fields such as business, marketing, engineering, tourism, or design. It is known for its hands-on approach, with project-based learning, internships, study-abroad semesters, and strong connections with the professional world.

Programs Available in English

Many universities and schools in France now offer Bachelor’s and Licence degrees entirely in English, especially in fields such as management, engineering, and political science.

This is an excellent opportunity for non-French-speaking students who wish to study in France while mastering an international language.
