LMD system

General description of the LMD system:

The LMD system has long been used in universities in Anglo-Saxon countries (USA, Canada, Great Britain, etc.). Its application began a few years ago in Europe and also in certain Arab countries, with the aim of improving the quality of higher education and issuing higher education diplomas of international value, which will enable students to be more mobile.

The LMD education system is based on a three-cycle architecture, each leading to a university degree:

A first cycle: Bac +3 leading to a Bachelor's degree.

A second cycle: Bac + 5 leading to a Master's degree.

Third cycle: Bac + 8 leading to a Doctorate.

The training leading to the "New Regime" Bachelor's degree is organized by field of study, grouping together a number of streams and specialties.

Training courses
