What is a Bachelor degree?

Definition of the Bachelor

The Bachelor’s degree is not a degree in itself. It is a school title to qualify scholars who have pursued 3 or 4 years of study after the bachelor’s degree. This corresponds to 180 [ou 240] ECTS credits. Many institutions now grant this title to their students.

Criteria for the recognition of the real Bachelor

Three parameters allow today to identify a real Bachelor:

  • the RNCP certification [Répertoire National de Certification Professionnelle] delivered by France Compétence. It aims to ensure the acquisition of technical skills;
  • the license visa. This is a quality label granted by the Ministry of Higher Education. It is valid for a maximum of six years. This document attests to the good academic level for the pursuit of the master’s degree in a grande école;
  • The Bachelor’s degree for Bachelors, applicable since last year. This precious title has been granted to a few dozen grandes écoles. It is awarded according to the quality of the teaching, the partnership network and the number of teachers or researchers. Note that Bachelors are entitled to Crous scholarships.

What is the value of a Bachelor’s degree?

The Bachelor’s degree allows students to acquire the skills necessary to master a field of study from the first year. Bachelors participate in internships and workshops to deepen their professional experiences. The courses are taught by business experts. The diploma issued at the end of the program is recognized by the State.

In addition, the Bachelor’s degree is distinguished by its international dimension. It is valid all over the world. Finally, the Bachelor’s degree is recognized as an easily accessible title. The majority of schools today offer this training in alternating years so that the student can reconcile theoretical courses with practical work.

What is the difference between a Bachelor and a Licence?

The Bachelor’s degree is a professional training delivered by private schools. It is highly sought after by companies looking for immediately operational talent. Among the disciplines studied in the Bachelor’s program, we can mention :

  • commercial management ;
  • international management ;
  • digital marketing;
  • international trade…

The study of these foundations then leads to a specialization in Master’s degree [entrepreneurship, sustainable development, motion design, 2D and 3D animation, etc.]. The Bachelor’s degree, on the other hand, is aimed at academics in the midst of their academic preparation. As a result, Bachelor’s programs are more professionally oriented than pedagogically oriented.

These two courses are of short duration: a Bac +2 level for the BTS and aBac +3 level for the Bachelor. The BTS training specializes the student in a particular field [accounting, business, sales…].
