Do you wish to pursue a part of your studies abroad or undertake a traineeship in another country?
Follow these two steps:

The Erasmus programme enables students to undertake a period of study at a European partner university and/or a traineeship period in a European company. The mobility takes place in the 1st year for traineeships and in the 2nd year for studies.

The length of the stay is between 3 months and 12 months (reduced to 2 weeks within the framework of DUT traineeships - diplôme universitaire de technologie, “University Diploma in Technology”).

The Erasmus + university exchange programme is the European Commission’s flagship initiative in the field of education. Since 1987, the Erasmus and Erasmus + programmes have provided hundreds of thousands of European students with a unique intercultural and multilingual university experience.

It is also possible to go to countries outside of the European Union via bilateral agreements between universities.

CY Cergy Paris Université has bilateral partnerships with a number of foreign institutions (Brazil, Russia, Japan, Korea, Colombia etc.) enabling the development of mutual relations in the field of academic research and training.

The agreements may be multidisciplinary, if they are established between universities (framework agreement), or by field, if they are established between departments.
 

The BCI, Bureau de Coopération Interuniversitaire (The Interuniversity Cooperation Office) enables French and Quebecois students, enrolled on full-time courses at their home university, to pursue part of their studies in one of the partner institutions. The length of the period of study abroad is from a minimum of three months to one academic year.

In January, applicants whose request has been approved by the teacher responsible will receive an access code from Anissa ABBAS (anissa.abbas@cyu.fr) for online registration.
Registration must be carried out via the official website of the BCI programme: http://echanges-etudiants.bci-qc.ca/
The deadline for online registration is usually in February.
In May/June, the Quebecois institutions will give their responses themselves. They will contact you directly to inform you of whether your application has been accepted.

Do not hesitate to ask your receiving university any questions directly once they have sent you confirmation of acceptance of your application.

At the beginning of the academic year, information meetings, organized by the International Cooperation Department and the international relations referent teachers, take place in each department.

The times and places are announced in the “International” section of the university website, on the noticeboards at the International Cooperation Department and in the academic secretariats of the departments.

After the information meetings, students interested in taking part in exchange programmes the following year should contact their international relations referent teacher in order to prepare their mobility application.

Selection of applicants is carried out by the teachers.

Further information for Law students is available at this link: http://www.droitucp.fr/pages/international

The list of students authorized to take part in exchanges is then sent by their international relations referent teachers to the International Cooperation Department, which is responsible for submitting your nomination to the partner universities.

In May (or earlier), once the students have been nominated, they will be informed by email of the procedure for preparation of their internal mobility application for the stay abroad.

Once you have been nominated, your contact details will be sent to the partner university. You will receive an email from the latter with the Internet addresses containing all of the information and documents required for your enrolment at the receiving university, and accommodation applications if necessary, which you should return as quickly as possible.

You need to reply rapidly, as the number of places available in university halls of residence is often limited. Universities increasingly require online registration with a fixed deadline. You must comply with this deadline or your mobility application will be cancelled.

Do not hesitate to ask any questions directly to your receiving university once they have sent you confirmation of acceptance of your nomination.

If you are not contacted by your host university, you should inform your referent teacher and your administrative coordinator at the International Cooperation Department, Anissa ABBAS (anissa.abbas@cyu.fr).
