Which type of studies for which degree?
For initial higher education, you can choose between two types of course:
- the short type, which consists of a single cycle and leads to a bachelor's degree
- the long type, which consists of two cycles of study and leads to a master's degree.
After initial higher education, you can go on to specialised studies.This 3rd cycle then leads to the degree of doctor, after defending an original thesis.
Specialised studies complement certain initial training courses.
