Studies abroad

• You must have UBE student status.
• You can go to a university with which the UBE has signed a cooperation agreement in your field of study.
• Your faculty, school or institute may add other selection criteria (grade point average, language level, motivation, year of departure, etc.).

• You decide, in agreement with your exchange coordinator and your course program coordinator, whether to study abroad for a semester or a year.
• Some UBE students follow course programs in which international mobility is compulsory in order to validate their year. If this is your case, you must respect the duration of the mobility provided for within the framework of your course, and you must absolutely go to one of the universities concerned by this special agreement.

It’s possible to combine several different types of mobility during your university career: you can study for the first time under the Erasmus+ program in Europe, and then go abroad later as part of another partnership elsewhere in the world, or do an internship abroad.

Good to know : if you leave as part of the Erasmus+ program, you can accumulate up to 12 months of Erasmus+ mobility per cycle, including both study and internships (3 years of bachelor’s degree = 1 cycle, 2 years of master’s degree = 1 cycle, doctorate years = 1 cycle). Erasmus+ mobility can also be combined with other types of mobility (exchanges in the framework of a non-Erasmus+ partnership, internships not financed by the European budget, etc.).

In the partner search engine, consult the universities where you can go based on your field of study, indicating your discipline and faculty/school/institute at the UBE.

Contact your exchange coordinator to find out whether a special selection procedure has been set up in your department. Follow his or her instructions to submit your application within the deadline set by your faculty/school/institute.

Exchange coordinators are UBE teaching staff who are in charge of the cooperation agreement with the foreign university you would like to attend, and who select the students who will go on exchange. The name of your coordinator will appear in the partner university’s information sheet, which you will find in the partner search engine. If the name of your coordinator does not appear in our search engine, please contact the international relations manager at your faculty/school/institute, who will be able to redirect you.

Once you’ve been selected by your UBE coordinator, you’ll need to complete the administrative formalities: on the one hand with the International Office at the Université Bourgogne Europe and on the other with the host university.

• Fill in the Mobility-online application form.
• Follow the instructions sent to you by e-mail to create your personal electronic space.
• Once your personal space has been created, your application will be sent to your exchange coordinator for official confirmation.
• Once your application has been electronically validated by your coordinator, you will have access to all the documents you need to complete your application.
• You will need to download these documents, fill them in and sign them (either electronically or manually), and return them, scanned if necessary, to your electronic space.
• The procedure is almost completely computerized: only one document (Study Contract) will need to be returned in paper format.

Application period :

• mid-February to May 15 at the latest for first semester departures ;
• mid-September to November 15 at the latest for second semester departures.

Good to know : once you’ve filled in the online application form and created your personal space, you’ll have a few extra weeks to finalize your application.

You must also apply to your partner university to ensure that your mobility application is complete, in parallel with your application to the International Office at the UBE.

• Find out more about your host university’s application procedure. You can visit their website where instructions are often published under International students, Exchange students or Erasmus students. And don’t forget to consult your host university’s profile in our partner search engine, where you’ll find in some cases information on how to apply, contacts and testimonials from UBE students who have gone abroad. For some partner universities, the UBE must first provide the list of candidates, so that the partner university can then contact you. It is therefore essential that you contact the International Office at the UBE (step 2 above).
• Please note that partner universities’ application deadlines may differ from ours: make sure you apply on time! If your application is late, the partner university may refuse your application, even if you have been selected by your UBE coordinator.
