Going abroad during your studies

Do you dream of studying for a semester in the United States? Study for a year in Peru or Australia? Don't wait any longer: as a student, you can benefit from numerous aids and opportunities to conquer the world!

Why go abroad during your studies?

Going abroad means discovering a new culture, traveling, and meeting new people. It is also an opportunity for you to make real progress in languages by being in contact with local people who do not speak your native language, so you will have to express yourself in English at least.

Living the international experience is an essential step for the rest of your career. By meeting new people and getting out of your daily routine, you will be able to reflect on what really makes you tick. Explore, deepen, take an interest, learn, you will grow from this experience. Get out of your comfort zone, be curious, take advantage of the precious exchanges you will have on site, such a rich experience will open your mind and your perspectives.
