French higher education system is now called the LMD system-Licence, Master, Doctoral, which has applied since 1998. This system is based on the Sorbonne Declaration dated May 25, 1998 which contain about changing the higher education system in the first four EU member states-France, Germany, Italy, England, and was followed by the Bologna Declaration, signed by 22 other EU member states.

This means, higher education systems in all EU member states will use the European Credit System, or known as the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). That is, if once the French higher education system is divided into cycles (DEUG, Licence, Maîtrise, DEA or DESS, and doctoral), since there are now using the ECTS system Licence, Master, and Doctoral course. European credit system would facilitate the students studying in one of the EU member states, including France, to find work in countries other EU members after graduation. This system also allows the students to change college majors or move to another university without losing credits that have been taken at the previous university or department.

However, the LMD system does not apply to higher education in the Grandes Écoles are still using the system cycle. Grandes Écoles is a type of high school or field of specialization for specific lines such as engineering, industry, business and management. This specific path admission is highly selective and rigorous. Later, the school graduates will become professionals in their field, including art, architecture, and administration.
