Academic partnership

London College of Teachers and Paris University of International Education

This legacy URL is retained for search continuity. The institution previously referenced as Paris College of International Education is now presented by LCT as Paris University of International Education (PUIE).

What does “University Certificate Issued Jointly” mean?

For an eligible LCT Diploma or PG Diploma where the individual programme page explicitly states the arrangement, the programme is offered in academic partnership with Paris University of International Education and the learner receives one certificate issued jointly by LCT and PUIE. Not every LCT course automatically carries the same certification arrangement.

Why LCT uses programme-specific wording

Academic partnerships can apply differently across course levels. The most reliable source is therefore the certification section on the individual programme page. That section should identify whether a programme is an LCT professional qualification, an eligible joint-certification programme or part of a separate degree pathway.

Selected professional pathways

LCT currently presents selected Diploma and PG Diploma pathways across areas such as TEFL, Montessori, Early Childhood Education, Special Educational Needs, Psychology and Counselling as eligible for joint university certification, subject to the current programme specification.

Academic progression

Where a programme forms part of an articulated academic pathway, learners should confirm entry requirements, credit arrangements and recognition directly before relying on the qualification for further study. Progression is not automatic simply because two programmes appear in the same subject area.

Before you enrol

  • Check the exact programme title and level.
  • Confirm the awarding or issuing institution shown on the programme page.
  • Ask whether the certificate is issued by LCT, issued jointly with PUIE, or awarded through a separate degree arrangement.
  • Check any employer, licensing or further-study requirements that apply in your country.
