I am working on the biography of Maria Salomea Skłodowska (Marie Curie). I am confused about her Bachelor/Master degrees. Many authors mentioned that she obtained Master Degree on Physics (1893) and on Mathematics (?) or Chemistry (1894) from Sorbonne (Paris) but I am not getting any information about her Bachelor Degree. She completed education in a gymnasium (school level) in Warsaw. But could not study in Warsaw University because during that time woman was not allowed to study there.
The question is: whether without Bachelor Degree was she able to study Master or not? In this connection it would be nice if anybody can help me to give me the following information:
Names of the Degrees (Bachelor/Master/Doctoral Levels) with Years & Institutions — Marie Curie obtained from Warsaw and Paris (School/College/University).
Adaab sir,
Sir, you can get some information from the attached link and/or pdf.
"On 3 November 1891, she enrolled to study physics at the Faculty of Sciences in Paris, and in July 1893, she graduated at the top of her class with a bachelor’s degree in physics. During the summer, she was awarded a grant which enabled her to continue her studies in mathematics, and in July 1894, she earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, coming second in her class."

Thanks Forhad for sending the document. However, please note that she passed two examinations, viz. LICENCE ÈS SCIENCES PHYSIQUES AND LICENCE ÈS MATHÉMATIQUE . I am confused whether each of this degree (LICENCE ÈS SCIENCES or LICENCE ÈS MATHÉMATIQUE) is equivalent to Bachelor of Science or Master of Science. I consulted many documents but unable to find consensus view. Many authors have mentioned this as Bachelor of Science, others as Master of Science. I sent few mails to the experts on this issue and expecting reply from them.
Thank you once again for your cooperation.
With best wishes
