All the programs at Paris-U are applied ECTS, which allows credits from Paris-U to be counted towards a qualification studied at another higher education institution.

What is accreditation?

Accreditation is a quality assurance process that colleges, universities, and educational institutions and their programs undergo to confirm that they meet a strict and recognized set of service and operational standards. Obtaining an accredited degree is essential if you hope to garner the career success you deserve. Accreditation is a process in which outside agencies evaluate a school’s programs to ensure they meet applicable academic standards. Without accreditation, it is impossible for employers to know whether your diploma or degree is from a legitimate, reputable institution.

Paris-U is a reputable, recognized, and globally acclaimed Institute of Higher Education that has successfully obtained accreditation at the institutional, school, and program levels. All our academic programs fully comply with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). This ensures that all Paris-U programs and qualifications are fully accredited, ensuring that Paris-U graduates have open access to employment and lifelong learning.

Paris-U accreditation FAQs

Institutional accreditation effectively provides a license to operate. It is usually based on evaluating whether the institution meets specified minimum (input) standards such as staff qualifications, research activities, student intake, and learning resources. It might also be based on an estimation of the potential for the institution to produce graduates that meet explicit or implicit academic standards or professional competence (The Power of Accreditation: Views of Academics; Professor Lee Harvey, Centre for Research and Evaluation, Sheffield Hallam University, ENQA Workshop Reports, 2004).

Once an organization of higher learning receives official approval, students can be assured that the organization is in full compliance with commercial quality and integrity standards.
