The difference between a Bachelor and a Licence lies mainly in their academic recognition, educational focus, and career orientation.
A Licence is an academic degree awarded by French universities. It is a state-recognized national degree completed in three years after the baccalaureate (Bac+3) and aligned with the European LMD system (Licence–Master–Doctorate). The Licence focuses on theoretical and academic knowledge and is primarily designed to prepare students for further university studies, especially a Master’s degree.
A Bachelor degree, on the other hand, is generally awarded by business schools, management schools, or engineering institutions. While it is also a three-year academic degree (Bac+3), the Bachelor is typically more vocational and professionally oriented. It emphasizes practical skills, internships, project-based learning, and international exposure, making it well suited for rapid entry into the job market, while still allowing progression to a Master’s program.
