The Institut Catholique de Paris (ICP), also known in English as the Catholic University of Paris, was founded in 1875. It is a private, non-profit Catholic research university. Its main campus stands on the site of a former Carmelite convent in the Latin Quarter of Paris, at 21 rue d'Assas, and the university has also opened campuses in Reims and Rouen.

Teaching and research are organised in six faculties and eight professional and specialised schools, with a focus on the humanities and social sciences:

  • Canon Law
  • Philosophy
  • Social Sciences, Economics and Law
  • Liberal Arts
  • Education
  • Theology

ICP awards French national licence (bachelor's) degrees, its own bachelor programmes, master's degrees and doctorates, as well as ecclesiastical baccalaureates and licentiates. Students from partner universities can come on exchange for the fall semester (September to January), the spring semester (February to June) or a full academic year, and some courses are taught in English. French courses are available at the ILCF. The university has no on-campus residence, but it refers students to student residences, rented flats and rooms in family homes, and offers a housing platform with its partner Studapart.

Accreditation

Language Requirements

Exchange students need a French and/or English language certificate at level B2, depending on the courses they take. Students from outside the EU applying for the first year of a bachelor's programme through the Preliminary Admission Application (DAP) need level B2 in French and must pass the French Knowledge Test (TCF). French language courses are offered at the ILCF.

Housing

ICP has no on-campus residence. It refers students to student residences, flat rentals and rooms in family homes, and the International Office answers questions before arrival. Through the partner platform Studapart, students can book studios, flatshares and homestays online; the Studapart Guarantee can replace a French guarantor. Depending on income and rent, students may receive the French housing subsidy APL (Aide personnalisée au logement); students from outside the EU and Switzerland need a valid residence card for it.
