EIU French authorization and international accreditation – important facts to know and understand !!!
France has a very unique system, and many people around the world, including ministries of education in different countries, don’t understand the French system – which is one of the oldest education systems in the world, even older than the UK or American systems.
In France, a private university is allowed to choose to run French national curricula, which is delivered and assessed in the French language – for which the government would require local (national) accreditation.
Conversely, institutions like ours offer international type programs and degrees – which are then out of the scope of the French ministry to accredit anyway – and hence they keep away from all these programs as this is not their scope of function.
Another difference is the fact that our international type programs are all delivered and assessed 100% in the English language, because we want our students to be internationally employable and mobile (not restricted to France or French-speaking countries only, which in terms of the percentage of the world population, is significantly minuscule).
Hence the Ministry in France treats institutions like ours differently in that…
- We function independently and run on our funding and income.
- Unlike French curricula/medium institutions – we do NOT get any state funding for students as well as for faculty – this is another reason why the Ministry has no scope of authority over us beyond that of evaluating, approving, and authorizing our type of institutions and programs without getting involved in “national Accreditation,” which logically does not apply to us for all the above reasons.
- Our programs are international type programs, and our degrees are named the same as international-type degrees – no French nomenclature is used for our degrees, hence clearly distinguishing ourselves from all national-curriculum/French-degree type institutions in France.
- Our medium of instruction and assessment is 100% ENGLISH, not French.
- Our focus is not French-speaking or French government funding-seeking students; rather, our target market is worldwide, especially students who are marginalized and have difficulty accessing high-quality higher education due to the commercialization of international education and very high tuition fees by other profit-oriented institutions around the world; one of our core values is to be one of the most affordable, accessible, and inclusive international higher education providers globally, and we are very proud at the same time humbled by this
- Finally – since the French ministry does not have the scope or function to accredit our type of institutions and programs, we seek and have successfully obtained international accreditation, acceptance, endorsement, accolades, and quality assurance/quality control marks at outstanding levels by bodies such as ASIC, UK, QS Intelligence (5-star rating overall), CEOWORLD Magazine which has ranked us as the top-51 best business school in the world, and currently undergoing nationally recognized American accreditation by ACBSP. All these make us internationally accredited, and this is our focus and deliberate strategic academic and business decision as a university.
