The Path to a Degree at the School of Science

The path to a degree: earning a degree is no walk in the park!

You’ve just finished your studies and can’t wait to finally hold your diploma in your hands—the culmination of all your hard work during your time at university.

We'll explain why you have to wait a few months after finishing your studies to receive your diploma.

Once the examination reports for the second-semester degree examinations have been approved—usually between July and mid-October—your future diploma is reviewed and, if necessary, corrected by the Degree Office (regulatory checks, personal information, etc.) before it is printed.

Your diploma is then entered into a tracking database to ensure full traceability before being forwarded for verification and signatures:

– To the Office of the President of the University of Montpellier
– To partner institutions for jointly accredited programs (Montpellier SupAgro, AgroParisTech, Paul-Valéry University, etc.)
– To the Montpellier Regional Education Authority

If an error is detected during any of these verification stages, the diploma must be flagged as having an error and reissued so that it can undergo all verification stages again.

The entire verification process prior to the signatures of the President of the University of Montpellier, the heads of any partner institutions, and the Regional Education Director takes approximately 4 to 6 months. This may seem a bit long, but it ensures that you receive a high-quality degree.

So thank you for your patience!
