What is a Diplôme en Partenariat International (DPI)?
A Diplôme en Partenariat International (DPI) refers to different types of collaboration between Aix Marseille Université and one or more foreign higher education establishments. These partnerships can lead to the award of a double or multiple degree, a joint degree, or the relocation of an amU course to an international partner institution.
These programs offer amU students the opportunity to study at one or more foreign universities for one or more semesters, either continuously or in part. At the end of their course, they are awarded the amU diploma, as well as the diploma(s) issued by the partner institution(s).
In the case of joint degrees, students receive a single diploma, bearing the seal of each partner institution and signed by their respective legal representatives.
Last but not least, some amU courses can be offered at a partner institution abroad. In this case, the training provided is strictly identical to that offered at amU, and is designed and implemented in close collaboration with the university, particularly with regard to organization, pedagogical follow-up and quality assurance.
