Important Note:

East Bridge University has received the status as a "hors contrat" school under the French education system. As a non-contracted private institution, EBU operates independently from government funding and is not bound by the national curriculum mandated for schools under contract.

Given EBU's designation as a "hors contrat" school, the awards conferred by the university are not considered equivalent to those of French public educational institutions. Instead, EBU offers programs delivered exclusively in the English medium and caters primarily to international students residing outside of France. This international focus aligns with EBU's mission to provide globally relevant education and foster a diverse learning community.

EBU's decision to seek accreditation and professional memberships outside of France is a strategic choice reflective of its authorization and operational framework. By pursuing international accreditation, EBU aims to ensure that its programs meet rigorous standards of quality and recognition on a global scale, enhancing the value of its awards and credentials in the international marketplace.

As EBU continues to uphold its commitment to excellence in education, it remains dedicated to providing innovative learning experiences and preparing students for success in an increasingly interconnected world. Through its distinctive approach to education and focus on international accreditation, EBU endeavours to empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities needed to thrive in today's global society.

Degree Terminology and Restrictions:

French law prohibits private institutions from using protected academic terms such as “baccalauréat,” “licence,” “master,” and “doctorat” for their institutional diplomas. Where terms like "Master" are used in EBU’s diploma titles, they are in accordance with institutional permissions and do not represent equivalence to French national degrees.

Transparency and Student Responsibility:

EBU is committed to maintaining transparency regarding the nature of its programs and diplomas. While EBU offers high-quality education through English-medium, distance-learning programs, students must verify the recognition and applicability of EBU’s certifications in their specific countries for purposes such as further education, employment, or credential recognition.

Important Note:

EBU does not claim its programs to be French nationally accredited or equivalent to degrees conferred by French public or private universities. The certifications and diplomas offered are designed primarily for personal and professional development and may not be recognised by other institutions or employers, including public (government) and private entities. Students who wish to legalise their EBU awards can do so via the apostille process facilitated through EBU’s legal agency in Paris, France.
