ENIC-NARIC France Attestation de comparabilité Academic Recognition
FOREIGN QUALIFICATION EVALUATION

Attestation de Comparabilité

France does not have a general system of automatic legal equivalence between foreign and French degrees. ENIC-NARIC France can issue an attestation comparing an eligible foreign qualification with a level in the French education system.

Education Level

The attestation describes the level of the foreign qualification and places it in relation to the French qualification framework.

Academic Use

A French higher education institution may request an attestation when assessing an applicant with a foreign degree.

Employment

For a non-regulated profession, the employer evaluates the qualifications presented and may request an ENIC-NARIC comparability statement.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION

Comparability Does Not Equal Legal Equivalence

For Further Study

The French receiving institution determines admission and recognition of prior foreign study according to its own criteria. It may request the ENIC-NARIC attestation as supporting evidence.

For Employment

In non-regulated professions, employers determine whether a foreign qualification meets their needs. Regulated professions follow separate recognition procedures with competent authorities.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT

The Qualification Must Be Recognized in Its Country of Issue

French official guidance states that only a diploma recognized by the country where it was issued can receive an ENIC-NARIC attestation of comparability.

APPLICATION

Important Information

This page does not state or imply that ENIC-NARIC France, France Éducation international, the French Government, a French university, or any French authority has recognized, endorsed, accredited, approved, or pre-approved Novaris International Christian University or its programs.

Eligibility for a comparability statement and acceptance for study, employment, or professional practice are independently determined by the competent French organization.
