You come from a partner university
Please first check with the International Education Office of your university or faculty that your institution has a bilateral agreement with our institute.
You are selected by your university which sends us your details.
We then send you an information and application pack (available below). Once you have returned all the necessary forms to us we send you an acceptance letter stating that you will be an exchange student with us.
You register and pay tuition fees to your home university and you register as a non-degree seeking exchange student with IAE/UPMF.
You get a student card from Université Pierre Mendes France which gives you access to the same rights and services as all degree seeking / non exchange students.
All courses completed and marks obtained at IAE are then transferred to your home institution.
Your stay may last a whole year or one semester only from September to January or February to April.
For information and registration documents for your exchange at IAE, please write directly to the administrative office of International Relations.
