What is a DU?
The University Diploma (DU) or DU, also known as the Establishment Diploma (DE), is distinguished by its unique positioning outside the conventional framework of traditional university degrees. This particularity lies in the fact that it is not governed by official authorization from the Ministry of Higher Education, which gives French universities the exclusive power to award it, unlike traditional diplomas which are granted in the name of the ministry. .
The value of the DU on the job market varies significantly depending on the sector of activity concerned as well as the notoriety that the diploma has managed to establish among professionals over the years. An essential criterion for recognition is its registration in the National Directory of Professional Certifications (RNCP), which attests to the relevance of the skills obtained with the requirements of the labor market.
Who can do a DU?
Preparing for a university degree is open to a wide range of candidates, including those pursuing bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees. However, this opportunity extends beyond the traditional student setting. University diplomas are also accessible via the continuing education services of higher education establishments, allowing working professionals, whether employed or looking for work, to integrate them. Applicants must submit an application and may be invited for an interview, with specific admission criteria varying depending on the university concerned.
University Diplomas LACT & University Paris 8
LACT offers two DUs in psychology in collaboration with the University of Paris-VIII which allow health, care and support professionals to acquire complementary skills applicable in the context of their functions. These university degrees can be supplemented by additional years of specialization to deepen systemic theory and practice.
The DU Relationship Clinic and systemic intervention
The DU “Relationship Clinic and Strategic Intervention” offers a total of 92 hours of courses, including three individual supervision sessions lasting 45 minutes each, approximately 90 hours of personal work and 147 hours of practical training. This course is designed to provide a generalist foundation in terms of methods and practices related to the strategic systems approach.
Delivered entirely online, the program offers a combination of half-day live teaching, both individual and group supervision, as well as periods dedicated to independent or small group work. It is led by a team of international trainers from various professional backgrounds, including the medical sector, the business world, scientific research and academia.
This diploma opens the way to an enriched understanding and an innovative perspective on the management of relational dynamics, offering strategic tools to address and resolve psychological and relational issues. The skills developed are particularly relevant for professionals in the fields of support, education, helping relationships, as well as for those working in the clinical sector, offering transversal added value applicable to a variety of professional contexts.
The DU “Strategic systemic approach to education diploma”
This training offers a complete course to integrate the methods of the systemic and strategic approach, essential for any educator or support professional wishing to place the relationship at the center of their practice. It begins with a theoretical phase devoted to the fundamental principles of this approach, before looking at practical applications addressing specific challenges in the educational environment, such as school bullying and various problematic situations. Participants will also explore the management of certain disorders affecting students, such as attention disorders, dys disorders and hyperactive behaviors, as well as psychological issues encountered by teachers, such as depression, burnout and loss of self-confidence. The program includes a practical internship as well as group and individual supervision, thus allowing you to deepen your learning of the systemic and strategic approach, to identify and interrupt dysfunctional relational processes to refocus teaching on the relationship. .
The “Strategic Systemic Approach to Education Diploma” is divided into 11 modules, totaling 103 hours of theoretical and practical training, 100 hours dedicated to continuous assessment and personal work (including case studies, preparation for supervision, multiple choice questions , responses to continuous assessments, and the creation of video content), plus 147 hours of internship accompanied by a final dissertation. This represents a total duration of 96 hours and 15 minutes of training, in addition to the internship.
Delivered entirely online, the program alternates between virtual face-to-face sessions, group and individual supervision, and periods of independent or small group work. The trainers, international specialists from various fields such as the medical sector, business, scientific research and academia, conduct the sessions live in the form of webinars. The course schedule is designed to promote optimal assimilation of knowledge, with an interval of 15 days to three weeks between each session, thus allowing regular and efficient progression.

LACT distance learning courses as a key to professional retraining
“This school allowed me a serious and harmonizing retraining. Strategic systemics opened my eyes to the benefit of patients,” testifies Dr. A. Beau. DU LACT and Université Paris 8 are often the key to successful retraining. Thanks to a complete curriculum, also including courses on the development of professional activity, LACT courses are a bridge between teaching, practice and the creation of a new activity.
