Académie de Paris Authorization:
Under the French private education system, private schools are either “sous contrat” – with the government paying teachers’ salaries and the school following the national curriculum – or “hors contrat” - not funded by the government, and therefore not obligated to follow any particular curriculum.
The City University of Paris (CityU Paris) is a "hors contrat" school, therefore our institutional diplomas are not equivalent to diplomas issued/recognized by the French State.
Due to the nature of its authorization, operations and legal allowance in France, CityU Paris seeks program-related recognition and accreditation from other government-recognized organizations in the EU and globally.
Restrictions
Private institutions cannot use the terms "baccalauréat," "licence," "master," and "doctorat" for their institutional degrees. Violations result in severe penalties, including closure of the institution. City University of Paris uses the term "Master" in certain diploma titles strictly as authorized by the Académie de Paris; these are institutional diplomas and are not classified as national diplomas. All our programs are taught and delivered only in English and completely via distance learning method.
Transparency
Private institutions must clearly differentiate their degrees from national degrees to avoid misrepresentation and while maintaining its value. CityU Paris diplomas are not national diplomas in France.
