The Université Catholique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (UCAO) maintains a presence in France, primarily to facilitate academic exchanges, research collaborations, and administrative coordination for its West African campuses. The Paris office serves as a liaison point rather than a full-fledged teaching campus, but it plays a crucial role in supporting the university's mission of promoting Catholic education and cultural exchange between Africa and Europe. While direct course offerings in France are limited, the Paris location supports programs and initiatives that align with the university's broader curriculum.

Theology and Religious Studies: Courses and seminars focusing on Catholic doctrine, ethics, and interfaith dialogue are often coordinated through this office, with occasional workshops held in Paris.
International Development Studies: Programs related to sustainable development, particularly in the context of West Africa, are supported through partnerships with French institutions.
