Diploma equivalence from the old Belgian System I graduated from DRCongo, and here we still use the old Belgian system.
I did the  Polytechnic, and my diploma is called license en Polytechnique Option Genie Electrique et Informatique.
Basically, we spend one year in pre-polytechnic class, the 3 years of grade and by the end we get a diploma de grade for the first cycle and then we spend another 2 years to get the so-called diploma de Licence en Polytechnic. Basically here we spend 6 years at Uni to get that diploma.
Now that I am applying for UK universities I don't know how my degree translates in the UK educational system.
Should I call it a Master degree or a 2nd Cycle Bachelor Degree?
It's not a Masters and not a 2nd Cycle Bachelor degree, so you can't call it that. In places where you have free-form text, you can probably say that it's &quot;comparable&quot; or &quot;equivalent to a Masters or 2nd Cycle Bachelor degree&quot;, but you should state the name of the degree you actually have first. If you encounter drop-down boxes in application forms that don't have your degree and no &quot;other&quot; category either, then you could probably pick the closest choice you have available.
