Erasmus+ Studies
View the presentation on student mobility at the Faculty of Sciences
The Erasmus program allows students to study abroad at a partner university in one of the 33 participating countries. Participating in this program will allow you to:
- to study at a partner university for one semester or one year, and to be exempt from tuition fees at your host university
- to be eligible to receive an Erasmus+ study grant, subject to selection by the International Relations Awards Committee
- to have the ECTS credits earned at your host university recognized
Eligibility requirements:
Any FdS student, regardless of nationality, can participate in an Erasmus+ exchange program
=> You must be enrolled at the FdS during the year of your study abroad program
=> You must have completed at least one year of higher education (preference is given to students in their third year of a bachelor’s program [L3], first year of a master’s program [M1], and second year of a master’s program [M2], subject to approval by your academic advisor for the study abroad year and the International Relations coordinator for your discipline),
=> You must not have previously participated in a 12-month Erasmus study exchange during the same academic cycle (regardless of whether you receive a grant or not).
To properly prepare for your study abroad program, you should begin the process one year before your actual departure.

Preparing for an International Assignment
Planning for a study abroad program always requires advance preparation. It is therefore important to start the various steps several months before departure: for example, as early as October for a semester beginning in January, between December and February for an internship scheduled for April, or around March for a departure at the start of the following academic year. This advance planning is also essential for administrative formalities, particularly visa applications. Depending on your destination country, processing times can be quite long, so it’s recommended that you consult official immigration websites as soon as possible to learn about the procedures and required documents. Health is another crucial issue that should not be overlooked. If you’re staying in Europe, health risks are generally limited, but it’s still important to verify how medical care will be covered. Your Carte Vitale will not be valid abroad; therefore, in most cases, you will need to apply for a European Health Insurance Card before departure. Coverage may, however, vary depending on the length of your stay and the nature of your activities there. For example, if you work during your stay—even in a temporary job—you may need to enroll in the host country’s social security system. Outside of Europe, purchasing international health insurance is generally essential. In some cases, it may even be required by the institution or organization hosting you. Finally, if you are already undergoing medical treatment, it is important to plan ahead for how to continue that treatment during your stay abroad, as well as any associated costs. Since every situation is different, it is advisable to do your research well in advance to avoid any difficulties once you arrive.
