Research Abstract	Today, the higher education and its degree system are required to meet the needs of internationalization/globalization, and the reforms are carried out not only in the developed countries but also in developing ones. This research examined two cases : the Asian countries of former French Indo-Chine region who are in the big movement of reform of education, and European countries moving towards a harmonization of higher education system, and we could confirm that the education system should not be analyzed in itself, but together with the various factors such as the labor market, the industrial circles, the history of each country.
