Two recent developments now mark a decisive step in this trajectory: the integration of its Bachelor programme into ParcourSup and the official recognition of the degree with the French “Grade de Licence”. Together, these milestones signal a deeper institutional anchoring and greater academic clarity for future students. # Albert School Joins ParcourSup: A New Step in Its Academic Integration Albert School has reached a significant milestone in its development: its Bachelor programme is now officially listed on ParcourSup, the national platform for post-baccalauréat admissions in France. For the first time, high school students can include Albert School’s Bachelor among their official ParcourSup voeux, alongside universities, preparatory classes and other accredited higher education institutions. This integration represents a structural change for the school, positioning its programme more clearly within the French higher education system rather than as an alternative or parallel pathway. Beyond visibility, being referenced on ParcourSup implies compliance with national expectations in terms of programme structure, academic coherence and transparency of admissions criteria. For students and families, it provides clearer benchmarks and comparability when making post-bac choices. # Bachelor Degree Awarded the French “Grade de Licence” This announcement follows another major institutional recognition: the Albert School – Mines Paris – PSL Bachelor degree has been officially awarded the “Grade de Licence” by « La commission des titres d’ingénieurs » (CTI). The “Grade de Licence” is a state-recognised academic label that certifies a programme at Bac +3 level within the French and European higher education frameworks. It confirms that the degree meets national standards in terms of learning outcomes, academic depth, evaluation methods and overall programme governance. This recognition goes beyond branding or reputation: it provides a clear legal and academic status to the Bachelor degree, both for further studies and for professional recognition. # Concrete Implications for Students The attribution of the “Grade de Licence” has several tangible consequences: Academic continuity: Graduates hold a fully recognised Bac +3 degree, enabling access to Master’s programmes in France and abroad without ambiguity regarding degree level. Institutional clarity: The programme is now clearly positioned within the French higher education landscape, reducing uncertainty for students, families and partner institutions. International readability: Alignment with the European higher education system strengthens the degree’s international comparability. Employer recognition: For recruiters, the “Grade de Licence” provides a clear academic reference point, complementing the programme’s professional and data-oriented positioning. For current and future students, these announcements mark an important step forward. The integration into Parcoursup and the recognition of the Bachelor with the “Grade de Licence” bring greater academic clarity, stronger institutional positioning and more straightforward pathways for what comes next, whether that means continuing studies or entering the job market. Concretely, it strengthens the value of the degree you are building today and the options it opens tomorrow. ## Key Takeaways 1. Official recognition 2. ParcourSup 3.
