The Institut Catholique de Paris, known in English as the Catholic University of Paris (and in Latin as Universitas catholica Parisiensis), is a private university located in Paris, France. The institute was founded in 1875, under the name ''Université Catholique de Paris'', by Maurice Le Sage d'Hauteroche d'Hulst. ==Overview== The university offers licentiate, master and doctoral degrees in various faculties. The ''Faculté de Théologie'' is a pontifical institution with the canonical authorization to educate men for the Catholic priesthood. The ''Faculté de Lettres'' is a school of the humanities with no explicit religious orientation. During the summer, the Institut opens the ''Faculté de Lettres'' to international students month-long terms. Professors at the university are recruited from sacred (i.e., theology, canon law, etc.) and secular disciplines (e.g., letters, philosophy, education, social sciences, economics). The majority of degrees and diplomas awarded by the Catholic University of Paris are state-authorised diplomas, as the university is certified to issue them by the Ministry of Education. Canonical degrees are awarded in the name of the Holy See and are the result of a prescribed course of study in the ''ecclesiastical'' faculties, such as theology and canon law. The university charges tuition, because the state does not pay the wages of teachers at Catholic institutions of higher learning, as authorized under the Debré Law of 1959. The institute receives a state subsidy which covers 34% of its financial needs. The amount of subsidy, derived from the Ministry for National Education, is independently fixed each year by the government each year within the framework of the national budget and without obligation or contract of any kind. The Musée Edouard Branly, located within the institute, preserves the laboratory of physics professor and noted radio pioneer Édouard Branly, developer of the first practical radio receiver device, the Branly coherer, who also coined the term "radio".〔(Edouard Branly, the Coherer, and the Branly effect - History of Communications ), Jean-Marie Dilhac, Communications Magazine, IEEE, Volume: 47 Issue: 9, September 2009, (quoting J. Terrat-Branly, ''Mon père, Edouard Branly'', Corrêa, 1941) accessed 10 May 2011〕 The university belongs to the network of the UDESCA (Union of the Catholic Higher Educational Establishments) which includes the five French Catholic institutes - Paris, Lille, Lyon, Angers and Toulouse - and associates with the International Federation of Catholic Universities (FIUC), comprising 200 Catholic universities throughout the world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institut Catholique de Paris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
