Baccalaureate 2028: a bilingual diploma thanks to regional languages
Publié le 04 août 2026 - Public Service / (Prime Minister)
From 2028, candidates who have presented a specialty in a regional living language at the bachelor's degree will have their diploma in « bilingual curriculum ». Public Service explains this new measure.
The novelty was announced in a decree of 28 july 2026. From the 2028 baccalaureate session (general and technological series), students who have followed a specialty in regional living language will be able to have their diploma with the indication « bilingual curriculum ».
The curriculum opens from the start of the 2026 academic year for students entering first grade and starting their specialties (with a view to the 2028 baccalaureate). A student who has followed a living regional language in first and last year will be able to present one of its 2 specialties in this language (the exam will be conducted in French and also in the language followed). Only one of the specialties is concerned.
As the grand oral may relate to one of the specialties, the test may be presented in the regional language if the jury chooses the subject concerned.
Please note
Until now, a bilingual baccalaureate course is only possible with foreign languages, and only as part of a International French Baccalaureate (BFI) or a double bachelor's degree.
Warning
Students entering the final year of high school this year and completing their bachelor's degree in June 2027 are not affected, since it is necessary to have followed the teaching of the regional living language in first and last year classes.
