State recognition certifies that an institution makes a useful contribution to the public service of higher education. It is based on an assessment of the institution's operations, its courses, and its management and teaching staff.
In addition to its recognition by the French government, aivancity is now authorized to award a certified master's degree for its five-year Grande École Program. This degree, historically registered at level 7 of the RNCP (French National Register of Professional Certifications), thus becomes the first certified master's degree in France in the field of artificial intelligence and data.
The awarding of a master's degree by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research constitutes a major academic recognition. It guarantees students a five-year higher education diploma that is fully registered within the European LMD framework, ensuring international recognition, the possibility of continuing their studies, and enhanced academic and professional recognition, both in France and abroad.
As a reminder, the state visa and master's degree are awarded following a rigorous evaluation process based on in-depth academic assessment and the appointment of admissions and graduation committees by the ministry.
In this regard, several key criteria were examined by MESRIE, including:
Registration with the RNCP (National Directory of Professional Certifications) certifies an official level of qualification. Students and employers can more easily identify the skills acquired at the end of the training program.
aivancity also has two qualifications that are certified and recognized by the government (Department of Labor) through their inclusion in the National Directory of Professional Certifications (RNCP), a database that lists certifications and diplomas recognized by the government:
Project Manager in Artificial Intelligence Solutions Development 
Artificial intelligence developer
The MSc Data Engineering & Cloud Computing and Data Management programs at aivancity award a Level 7 professional certification (equivalent to a five-year higher education degree). Recognized by the French government as part of their registration in the National Directory of Professional Certifications (RNCP), professional certifications, like state diplomas, attest to a level of study corresponding to the registered qualification level.
This certification aims to prepare students for careers as " Big Data Infrastructure and Processing Experts " and responds to a growing need among companies in France and around the world.
Aivancity joins the very select circle of the world's leading institutions in artificial intelligence by obtaining 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 among more than 100 selected international institutions.

This accreditation opens up opportunities for public funding from the Grande École Program for its students, and this is what the aivancity team has been working towards.
This favorable decision was made in light of the state's recognition and approval of the Grande École Program, attesting to the quality of our courses, the profile of our teachers, the quality of our equipment and facilities, the organization of our school, the human, material, and financial resources we have mobilized, and our research activities. Aivancity aims to provide its students with the best possible learning experience and therefore calls on all possible stakeholders to help create an innovative school that sets an international benchmark.
