Exchange Students

BREXIT INFO

If you are considering coming to France, be sure to consult the page dedicated to Brexit to find out about the new procedures.

CORONAVIRUS INFO

Regarding the latest national guidelines, study mobilities in Europe have been reestablished from the 1st semester of the 2020-21 academic year. Therefore, exchanges are made possible.
 
  • The DEUF (French university studies Diploma) is subject to the usual production of a French language certificate. We cannot however guarantee at this time that all classes will take place on a face-to-face basis. The Higher Education Ministry has asked us to envisage that part of the courses be dispensed by e-learning, but we have no further information on this at this stage.
     
  • The SELF (Study English in Lyon France) programme, whose classes are in English, is open to students subject to the production of a written attestation of level of English by a teacher/academic, and not official test scores. We will put on fewer courses than usual covering the 3 main disciplinary areas (Business, Law, Humanities), and these will be subject to a minimum number of students reserve. 
However, the fact that these mobilites are allowed does not make always make them possible. If you wish to do a mobility, please contact your university as soon as possible.

If you are affected by this situation, please check your student mailbox regularly for further information, or directly contact your University.
