It is now more than twenty years since the LMD meaning Licence-Master-Doctorat (Bachelor's-Master's-Doctorate) was introduced in the European Higher Education System. This system aimed at standardising the levels and organising recognition of the degrees in the different countries, amongst other things. The system was adopted shortly after by several developing countries. Many were ill-prepared for this adoption and met several absorption problems. There is a great need to know how this absorption process went. What problems et difficulties were met. More profoundly, the key question is how appropriate and relevant is the LMD to higher education systems in the South?
