Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jul 12, 2014:
"Finalité", I agree with Cchat, describes a "finalité recherche" or "finalité professionelle". I did a research masters in Tours in 2012 : http://www.univ-tours.fr/formations/master-sciences-technolo... Note "finalité recherche". I'm currently doing a Licence in Psychologie and will do a professional masters to qualify as a psychologist : "finalité professionnelle" http://ash.univ-tours.fr/la-formation/master-sciences-humain... although I'll be doing my M2 Psycho in a uni other than Tours as Tours does not offer the speciality I am aiming for.

Look at this as it might give you an idea-http://lettres.univ-tours.fr/departements/master-1-fle-s-pro... seems to mean a course where assessment is based on professional (maybe work/exams) + research
cchat Jul 12, 2014:
à finalité indifférenciée I think this means that the Master can lead either to a reseach career (PhD and afterwards) or directly to a job, after a successful internship.
In France, most Masters' degrees specify "recherche" or "professionnel", generally abbreviated as "pro".

undifferentiated


Here are two examples of this word in an educational context in English:

"A Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree provides an undifferentiated education in the foundational areas of Scientific Basis of Medicine, Medical Personal and Professional Development"
http://www.whatdegreewhichuniversity.com/States/SA/Universit...

"An undifferentiated program that includes instruction in the general arts, general science, or unstructured studies."
http://www.myplan.com/majors/general-studies/description-24....
Peer comment(s):

neutral Nikki Scott-Despaigne : This may work in context, the lack of differenciation in the French being that this is not specifically a research masters nor a professional masters.
3 hrs
neutral Dennis Boyd : This term is not correlated strongly in the BYU or Leeds corpora with educational programs of study
4 hrs
neutral Daryo : if you start from the premise that this is the right translation, you will eventually find something that sounds like what you need, but in fact is not much convincing. THIS "undifferentiated" is not about the purpose of the degree.. CL5?
22 hrs
neutral Rossana Noggle : I suppose that if you want to know what undifferentiated education means, you can try to understand it through the term Differentiated Educ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiated_instruction

open purpose

in other words all potential paths (to pursue an academic career or to practice the profession) stay open.
