Universite de Wallis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Université de Wallis (Wallis University) is allegedly a French university, founded in 2005 and regulated by Article L 771-1 of the Education code of the French Republic. However, the U.S. state of Oregon identifies this institution as an unaccredited institution operated from London and claiming a location in the Wallis and Fortuna Islands in the South Pacific.[1] Since Wallis University is not accredited by any accreditation body recognized by its country, its degrees and credits might not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions.[2]

Université de Wallis offers free courses (English, culture and civilization of Wallis) to the residents and online courses of Wallisian language to international students. The institution says that it applies the VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Experience) (Prior Learning Assessment-PLA) procedure, a process in France that can grant regular degrees in many fields of studies based on prior experience.[citation needed] Courses are in French, English and Wallisian languages.
