State recognition certifies that an institution makes a valuable contribution to the public service of higher education. It is based on an assessment of the institutionâs operations, its study programmes, and its management and teaching staff.
In addition to its state recognition, aivancity is now authorised to award an accredited degree conferring a Masterâs qualification for its five-year Grande Ăcole programme. This degree, historically registered at Level 7 of the RNCP, thus becomes the first accredited degree conferring a Masterâs qualification in France in the field of artificial intelligence and data.
The award of the Masterâs degree by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research constitutes a major academic recognition. It guarantees students a five-year post-baccalaureate qualification that is fully aligned with the European LMD framework, ensuring international recognition, the possibility of further study, and enhanced academic and professional recognition, both in France and abroad.
As a reminder, state approval and the Masterâs degree are granted following a rigorous assessment process, based on an in-depth pedagogical review and the appointment of admission and graduation panels by the Ministry.
In this regard, several key criteria were examined by the MESRIE, including:
Listing on the RNCP (National Register of Professional Qualifications) certifies an official level of qualification. This makes it easier for students and employers to identify the skills acquired upon completion of the course.
aivancity also offers two qualifications that are certified and recognised by the State (Ministry of Labour) through their inclusion in the National Register of Professional Qualifications (RNCP), a database listing qualifications and diplomas recognised by the State:
Project Manager in Artificial Intelligence Solutions Development 
Artificial Intelligence Developer
aivancityâs MSc Data Engineering & Cloud Computing and Data Management programmes lead to a Level 7 professional qualification (equivalent to a five-year higher education qualification). Recognised by the State through their registration in the National Register of Professional Qualifications (RNCP), these professional qualifications, like state-awarded diplomas, attest to a level of study corresponding to the registered qualification level.
This qualification is designed to prepare students for a career as an âInfrastructure and Big Data Processing Expertâ and meets a growing demand from businesses in France and around the world.
aivancity has joined the very exclusive circle of the worldâs leading institutions in artificial intelligence by being awarded the 5 Eduniversal Palms of Excellence, the highest distinction in the 2025 global ranking of Schools of Excellence in AI & IT.
This recognition is unique: aivancity is the only school in the world to achieve this level amongst more than 100 selected international institutions.
aivancity has been awarded QUALIOPI certification, the quality certification mark for training providers, across its entire range of face-to-face and online vocational training programmes, for its Paris and Nice campuses, for its schemes enabling the validation of prior learning (VAE) and for apprenticeship training programmes.
Based on the new National Quality Framework (RNQ) established in June 2019,
the âQualiopiâ mark attests to the quality of the processes implemented by providers of programmes that contribute to skills development and helps to make the training provision more transparent for businesses and learners.
This certification opens up opportunities for public or jointly funded training programmes delivered by Avancity for the benefit of its clients, whether businesses or public bodies.
The results of the audit carried out from 13 to 17 June 2024 revealed no instances of non-compliance, with all 32 criteria met.
aivancity is authorised to accept scholarship holders from the start of the 2023 academic year by decree of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

This accreditation opens up opportunities for public funding for the Grande Ăcole Programme for the benefit of its students, and this is what the aivancity team has been working towards.
This favourable decision was taken in light of the governmentâs recognition and approval of the Grande Ăcole Programme, which attests to the quality of the courses we deliver, the calibre of our teaching staff, the quality of our facilities and premises, the organisation of our school, the human, material and financial resources mobilised, and our research activities. aivancity aims to provide its students with the very best learning experience and is therefore engaging with all possible stakeholders to establish an innovative school of international standing.
aivancity has successfully been granted membership of the ERASMUS Charter for Higher Education, valid until 2027. This achievement confirms the schoolâs commitment to fundamental European principles.
As part of its internationalisation strategy, aivancity relies on ERASMUS+ as a partner for its mobility schemes and European collaborative projects. With the accreditation of the new Charter, aivancity is strengthening its skills development programme, particularly in terms of intra-European student mobility (work placements, study) and training mobility for administrative staff and lecturers.
