International programmes

What is an international programme in France and at Université Paris Cité?

A double or multiple dregree program: two or more universities jointly designing and administering a study program, resulting in students being awarded a degree certificate from each partner university that host them over the study program.

A joint degree program: two or more universities offering a jointly developed and integrated study programme, resulting in students being awarded a single degree certificate signed by all participating universities. This degree certificate is officially recognised in the countries of the universities part of the program.

An offshore degree program: a French study program taught at a foreign university, leading to the award of a French national degree to students at the partner university.

An Erasmus Mundus joint master’s degree: Master’s level programmes that are highly integrated, jointly designed and delivered by a consortium of universities from different countries. Embedded individual student mobility are funded through EU scholarships. They ultimately lead to the award of either a joint degree or multiple degrees that are mutually recognised.

Study programs structure:

“Bachelor’s degrees”: In France, Bachelor’s degrees – called Diplôme national de Licence – span three years (L1, L2, L3), each worth 60 ECTS credits, for a total of 180 ECTS upon completion. Enrolment in L2 or L3 may be possible if you already hold 60 or 120 ECTS credits respectively and meet the eligibility criteria.
“Master’s degrees” : Master’s degrees – called Diplôme national de Master – consist in France of two years (M1 and M2), each worth 60 ECTS credits. Admission directly into M2 is possible with 240 ECTS credits. After completing M2, students earn a Master’s degree worth 120 ECTS in total.
