Choose your courses
The learning agreement formalizes the courses that the student wishes to take abroad and ensures that these courses will be validated and recognized upon their return to their home institution. It involves the student, the home institution and the host institution. It must be signed by all three parties before the start of the exchange.
To draw up your learning agreement, please refer to the links on the right and to the section “Procedures and Deadlines” below.
The course descriptions for the new academic year are available from August.
