Disclaimer (Must Read)

Académie de Paris Authorization:
Under the French higher education system, institutions are either “sous contrat” – with the government paying teachers’ salaries and the institution following the national curriculum – or “hors contrat” – institutions 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 institution, therefore we issue institutional diplomas/awards.

Due to the nature of the authorization, operations and legal conditions in France, CityU Paris could separately seek program-related recognition and accreditation from other government-recognized organizations in the European Union and/or globally.

Restrictions
Under the current French education law, private education institutions cannot use the terms baccalauréat, licence, master, doctorat for their institutional degrees/awards. City University of Paris uses the terms “Bachelor”, |Master| and “Doctor” in its 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 education institutions must clearly differentiate their degrees from national degrees issued by public education institutions to avoid misrepresentation while maintaining their values. To reiterate and avoidance of doubts, CityU Paris issued diplomas are institutional diplomas and not national diplomas.
