Diplôme d'études universitaires générales

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Diplôme d'études universitaires générales ( DEUG ) is a certificate of eligibility that corresponds to the qualification after two years of university education in France . The diploma is recognized according to the state treaty for the mutual recognition of degrees between the Federal Republic of Germany and France. Similar rules apply to Austria.

The DEUG corresponds to the interim certificate that is awarded at German universities and is colloquially known as the pre-diploma .

The diploma in France

In France, the DEUG was awarded during the course of studies on the way to the License (3 years of study) and to the Maîtrise (4 years). Before the réform LMD (reform according to the Bologna process, which envisages License, Master and Doctorate as “European degrees”), the DEUG was a national diploma, which completed a two-year course after the Abitur (bac + 2) and at that time the end and Goal of the first cycle of studies. After each annual cycle, France awarded a diploma with different titles:

  • DEUG (2 years),
  • License (3 years),
  • Maîtrise (4 yrs),
  • DEA / DESS (5 years),
  • Doctorate (8 years)

The DEUG is issued today as part of the first cycle of studies as an interim degree on the way to the license.

history

The DEUG has replaced the diplomas of the various faculties since 1973:

  • Law (diplôme d'études juridiques générales)
  • Economy (le diplôme d'études économiques générales)
  • Literature (diplôme universitaire d'études littéraires)
  • Natural Sciences (diplôme universitaire d'études scientifiques)

It was established by a decree of March 1, 1973 and supplemented between 1993 and 1997 for the following 10 courses with executive decrees and decrees on the content of the study program:

  1. Industrial technology (DEUG technology industrial)
  2. Sciences (DEUG Sciences)
  3. Arts (DEUG Arts)
  4. Theology (DEUG Théologie)
  5. Human and social sciences (DEUG Sciences humaines et sociales)
  6. Literature and languages ​​(DEUG Lettres et langues)
  7. Law (DEUG Droit)
  8. Administrative Sciences (DEUG administration économique et sociale)
  9. Economy and Management (DEUG Economie et gestion)
  10. Science and technology in sport and movement (DEUG sciences et techniques des activités physiques et sportives)

DEUG from 1997 using the "réforme LMD"

Since 1997 the DEUG has been open to anyone with a baccalauréat or a comparable qualification. It is organized in four semesters , the first for orientation. The lessons are grouped into lesson units. The first year includes a tutorial . The universities hold examination events twice a year. Second year admission is approved when the student has completed and passed 70% of the first year. 80% of the DEUG is enough to be admitted to the license without receiving the diploma.

Since 1997 there have only been nine subjects. The first two (see above) were combined into one subject: “Sciences” + “Technologieindustrie” became “DEUG Sciences et technologies”.

DEUG since applying the Reform License-Master-Doctorat

The DEUG will continue to be awarded by the universities and colleges. The curriculum in the subjects is no longer prescribed nationally, but most universities still adhere to the requirements of the decrees. It is awarded today after two years of study in the three-year cycle of the license study.

Agreement with Austria

The agreement on the equivalence of secondary school leaving certificates of March 1, 2000 between Austria and France states:
