The University of French Polynesia (Université de la Polynésie française, UPF) is a French public university located in Tahiti at Puna'auia, French Polynesia. Established by a decree on May 29, 1987, the institution was originally known as the French Pacific University and was split between two sites located in New Caledonia and Tahiti, with its administrative headquarters in Papeete. Both centers have since become autonomous, establishing the university in its current form.
The academic scope of the university is closely tied to its unique geographic and cultural context in the Pacific region. It offers study programmes that reflect both standard French higher education curricula and subjects relevant to the overseas territories, fostering local and regional expertise. Students benefit from an environment that combines rigorous academic frameworks with distinct regional research perspectives.
International students considering the University of French Polynesia should plan for the logistical aspects of studying in an overseas collectivity of France. Prospective applicants need to review specific admission channels, language requirements, and enrollment procedures tailored for international candidates wishing to pursue higher education in this unique island setting.

Common questions about admission
Why apply through UNIPROFI specifically?
UNIPROFI is about a well-thought-out application and a strong outcome: we build an application path around your profile, goals and the requirements of your selected universities. You work with mentors who are current students or graduates of these schools, so you get real understanding of the system, campuses and opportunities — not theory. We take on complex cases (including minors and admission without an 11th-grade diploma), build an individual strategy for your profile and goals, and support you through every stage, from documents to your visa.
Do you guarantee admission?
We don't offer "guarantees for the sake of a sale," because no one can directly influence a university's decision. What we do is structure everything to minimize the risk of rejection — matching you to the right universities, building a strong application strategy, and preparing documents carefully. Any refund or re-application arrangement is governed only by the current service agreement and the circumstances of the case.
What are my actual chances of getting in?
We do not state a universal admission probability because the decision belongs to the university. We instead assess your profile, programme requirements and application strategy.
Can I apply on my own — why do I need you?
You can, but most students end up losing time, making mistakes, or settling for weaker universities. We save you months, help you start at a stronger level, and prevent the mistakes that can cost you admission.
