University of Wallis®

You are ready to experience the exciting teachings of a university from a country (France part of the European community) with great academic traditions. We mix classical teachings with modern thoughts and are using the latest developments of the communication technology.

- Life Experience Degrees based on the French VAE Law, which originally applied to public universities. This Validation des Acquis de l"ExpÃ©rience (VAE) law is unique and allows to grant regular French degrees based on life experience. A qualified Jury of Ph.D. tenured Professors may allow registered French Institutions of higher education to grant degrees. It is similar to the US "PLA (Prior Learning assessment) procedure" but goes further as it allows the issuance of full university degree based totally or partially on life experience. Those degrees are by law strictly equivalent to traditional degrees. Due to the "Lisbon convention" on degree equivalences, VAE degrees are now recognized equivalent by most of the countries and by many US credential evaluators.
