Is the Robert De Sorbon university accredited?

Answer 1

The correct name of the institution is Ecole Superieure de Robert de Sorbon. It is a private establishment. In terms of French law it is authorised to award degrees based on the work experience and educational qualifications of the applicant who submits a portfolio of evidence. They charge a fee if they accept the candidate as suitable to progress to the adjudication stage. In the case of candidates that appear unsuitable to progress further they decline the application and return the fee. Successful candidates' portfolios are verified and assessed by three judges from a panel of eminently qualified academics (professors). If successful the candidate is awarded the degree. Unsuccessful candidates may be offered a lower degree or advised on the action that the candidate needs to take to reach the required standard. Jurists may ask the candidates questions to verify the evidence or verify the evidence independently by enquiries to third parties. The candidates that are judged by the professors are serious and suitably qualified in terms of the legal regulations. A candidate may pass the screening and be accepted but there is clearly a risk of failing before the jury of professors and losing a substantial sum of money. Other French academic institutions can follow same procedure where appropriate. It would therefore seem that Ecole Superieure de Robert de Sorbon is in effect accredited by the French government. The calibre of the judges and the discipline applied to the process is also important. Based on experience it appears to be a well run concern.
