Diploma of Extended Studies (DES)

I thank Atef Sharia for enlightening me to the French system of university educational system. Since it clearly states in the context that the person attained the diploma of the trosiieme cycle than one would presume he has not obtained the doctorate.
I leave both suggested answers for the asker to choose in light of the overall context the asker has.

Ph.D

In all links leading to the term, there is talk of only psot graduate or doctoral disserations. Thus I preume this would be for the doctoral program, in this case a Moroccan educational attainment.
This is derived by sheer deductive reasoning.

Peer comment(s):

neutral atef Sharia : it is not clear if this person finished the "Doctorate", the last part of the "Troisième Cycle", or he just got the DESS or the DEA. The asker needs to verify this. http://www.ambafrance-us.org/culture/education/france/system...

Thanks a lot Atef. I leave this to indicate if the student has completed all the third cycle stages (i.e. up to Doctorate). This could have been cleared if we had more context from the asker.

third cycle

I don't know the translation of the word cycle in French, but I think this is the term.

I think you might have asked the Ar-Fr translators better!

I think also that it bears the Moroccan nature! :-)

These are some "English" Occurrences and translations of the term:

http://www.intstudy.com/india/frenchhe.htm
Indeed I found some sites translating it as Troisième Cycle!

This one is about educational system in France.

Example sentence:

Troisieme cycle

Peer comment(s):

agree Abdelmonem Samir : Cycle is the same in French, only it is pronounced differently, something like "seekle".

Merci, Abdo. Bon Soir, mon ami! :-)
neutral atef Sharia : I agree with you that it means " Third Cycle", but for non Francophone reader, this has no clear meaning. What part of the " Troisieme cycle" this person concluded?

It is the term for the word. I agree with you, but I don know French, and I am talking about an "English" translation. The part of the cycle is defined by the following words.
disagree Maureen Millington-Brodie : means nothing to English speaker - sounds like reference to washing machine! the website (good one by the way!) you are referring to quotes the French terms so that the English speaker knows what is being referred to and then translates them as "stages"
