Listen about DU (university diploma)! It is a different kind of diploma which is obtained directly from a university but is not recognized by the ministry of higher education. Unlike traditional university degrees, DU is done in its own unique style.
Its value in the job market depends on the field of the diploma and its professional reputation. If it is registered with RNCP (National Directory of Professional Certifications), it guarantees skills.
DU is different in every university – duration, fees, and subjects vary. See some cool examples:
- Sorbonne University has DU for hearing aids and sports cardiology
- Paris-Saclay has courses for climate action and startup development
- Lorraine University has diplomas in social dialogue and clinical research
Basically, DU is a flexible option that is perfect for learning specific skills! 🎓✨
