Spending time studying abroad requires prior organisation and you will need to start to prepare the year before you leave.  

The list of partner universities open to applications for this study abroad scheme is available in the section: Partner universities. 
Furthermore, an information meeting will be held during the year. We encourage you to contact students already studying at the establishments you are interested in. 
As the number of places is limited, applicant students will be pre-selected. This involves ranking students according to a number of criteria (semester 3 grades, language skills for non-French speaking destinations).
