Institutional Authorization
Académie de Paris Authorization:
Ministry of National Education, France Code: French Education Act, Code de l’Education Articles L 444-1 to 444-11 and R 444-1 to 444-28
Under the French 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 Paris Metropolitan University is a “hors contrat” school, therefore our awards are not equivalent to awards of French public educational institutions. The Paris Metropolitan University delivers all its programs in the English medium and exclusively enrolls international students outside of France.
The Paris Metropolitan University seeks only international accreditation and professional memberships outside of France due to the nature of its authorization and operations.
General
The University reserves the right to enforce these Terms by restricting access, suspending accounts, or initiating legal proceedings in cases of breach.
