License


 

A license (American English) or licence (Commonwealth English) is a document or agreement giving permission to do something.

Academia

A license is an academic degree in many European universities which is sort of equivalent to the master's degree. Originally, in order to teach at a university, one needed this degree which, according to its title, gave you a license to teach. The name survived despite the fact that nowadays one really needs a doctorate in order to teach at a university. A person who holds a license is called a licentiate.
