: Sorry, but this is just not right! They've realigned the cycles under the Bologna reform.//This doesn't affect the obvious: "cycle" is never used for the YEAR of a licence.

You can't disagree without knowing what date the degree was issued on.

first cycle
The term "premier cycle", under the Bologna reform, now refers to the licence, rather than the DEUG, which is no longer a state-recognised degree. Simple as that. There are countless references to be found to this with judicious Googling....

As far as I am aware, Nantes is currently part of France, and I got this from the local university's website: "Modalités d'inscriptions en premier cycle universitaire (Licence)", see <http://www.univ-nantes.fr/63849817/0/fiche_913__pagelibre/&g...

I suppose Nantes might be a bit close to Belgium. How about Marseille(s)? That must be in France. Didn't they name the national anthem after it?

In Europe actually. "Licence"="premier cyle", but only since a coupla years ago, hence, if it's a "licence" and it says "premier cycle" on it, it must date from within the last coupla years. It's called logic.
