Three letters, L for Bachelor, M for Master, D for Doctorate, three national diplomas, three training cycles. Within the framework of the European Higher Education Area, the "LMD" system aims to harmonise higher education curricula in Europe and promote student mobility at regional, national and European levels. This new organization of university studies was decided in 1999 by nearly thirty European countries. This organization is very close to the Anglo-Saxon Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. To date, more than one hundred (100) countries have the LMD scheme. The main objective of the LMD reform is to enable UCAD to innovate through the organization of new training and to place the student at the center of its training. In other words, the objectives of the reform are part of a forward-looking and innovative approach. They can be summarized as follows: the mobility of students, teachers, researchers and administrative staff; the easier integration of credits acquired in other universities in Europe, America, Africa or Asia; greater readability of exit levels for all (student, family, professionals ...); the increase of targeted streams; the establishment of a flexible and efficient training curriculum, of a fundamental or professional continuing education nature; offering to all levels the possibility of the strengthening of the student's methodological and communication capacities; the preparation for insertion in socio-economic activity; the construction of a reference doctoral training system; the production of a new generation of actors with multidisciplinary training, who will therefore be able to adapt to a changing world.
