At present, higher education in France follows the LMD system, that is, three years for undergraduate, two years for master and three years for doctor. Students who go to France to study for a master's degree (public university) usually have to study language or preparatory course for one year, then enter the professional study for two years, participate in internship, and obtain a master's degree after defending their thesis.

French universities (higher professional colleges) are educational institutions (including private and public) other than mainstream universities, and usually focus on a single subject, such as engineering or business, with different scales.

Compared with the cruel annual selection system in universities, students who pass the entrance examination will no longer have to face the cruel annual selection in universities, but study relatively comfortably to obtain diplomas. In addition, some universities break away from the traditional category of higher education and have the function of continuing vocational education or training civil servants (ENA).

Postgraduate education is divided into in-depth study stage (DEA) and doctoral thesis stage. Deep learning usually lasts for one year (two years for some majors, mainly liberal arts), during which compulsory courses must be completed, seminars must be attended, and a paper must be completed. The arrangement of courses and papers varies from school to school and major. Some courses and papers are tested at the same time, and some courses are tested in the first half of the year and papers are made in the second half.

After passing the thesis defense, he obtained the "Deep Learning Diploma (DEA)". Those who have obtained this diploma can apply for 2-4 years of doctoral degree registration. After the thesis is completed and the defense is passed, you will get a doctorate. The third stage of French education is the most critical stage to train future teaching and research personnel, and it is also the "pillar force" to directly participate in scientific research.
