This mobility program is intended for third-year students as part of their training mobility. It may be extended to fourth- and fifth-year students in the pharmaceutical program to enable them to complete their internships (research and industry). 

For non-pharmacy courses, students are invited to contact their course coordinators and the BRIto find out about the mobility opportunities available to them. 

Requirements for going abroad

• You must be enrolled in the Faculty of Pharmacy before your departure.
• You must pass your academic year.
• You must compile the various parts of the ERASMUS administrative and academic file in the required format and within the specified time frame.

Preparing for your stay

The trip abroad is being planned 10 months in advance.

1. Students wishing to participate in a mobility program must prepare an administrative and academic file. They must contact the administrative coordinator (Ms. Fleur Lorrain), who will provide them with the necessary files and information.
2. To choose courses that are as similar as possible to those offered at your home university, you should consult thepartner universities' programs on their websites. After reviewing the courses, you should contact the teachers responsible for your chosen destination, known as coordinators. The coordinator will help you prepare your learning agreement. This agreement will define all the courses you must take and pass under the same conditions as a student at the host faculty. The agreement must be signed by the student, the coordinators of both faculties, and the person in charge of the academic year chosen for the exchange. This document will serve as a reference and guarantee for both the home and host faculties.

Please note: any incomplete or late applications will not be considered.

During the stay

During their mobility period, students must inform the BRI of any changes to their learning agreement by emailing Ms. Fleur Lorrain.

On your return: have your mobility validated

Exams relating to courses taken at the host university are conducted according to the procedures and in accordance with the organization of the host university.

In order to have your mobility year validated, you must send your results to the International Relations Office as soon as you receive them.
