Exchange students can ask for a room in Clipper, our students’ residence. Availabilities are limited and we also support you in the research for a personal accommodation.

Non-European students must have taken out health insurance and liability insurance which covers the entire period of stay in France.

Students who are not European citizens must obtain a visa from the nearest French Embassy or Consulate. Normally, the procedure for obtaining the visa needs an acceptance letter which we will send to you as soon as possible after the acceptance of your nomination.
