In France, an Accredited Diploma (Diplovis) (in French: "Diplôme Visé") is a national higher education diploma delivered by public or private Grandes Écoles and colleges (écoles supérieures) and not necessarily linked to a university degree. For certain Grandes Écoles or colleges, it may also be accompanied by a bachelor's or master's degree, adding further recognition.
It is one of the two diplomas delivered by the Grandes Écoles, along with the Engineer's Diploma and a type of diploma awarded following an evaluation procedure by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, judging the academic quality of the Grande École or college program.
