Study at a foreign university

• Be enrolled at Aix Marseille University, in the Faculty of Economics and Management (an exception is made for students accepted into the Licence 3 IPBE program from an external institution),
• Have validated 120 credits or have a minimum L2 level at the time of application.
• Be mobile to a partner institution
• Have obtained the signature of your academic supervisor for each study project,
• Have completed the first semester of your application year,
• Validate your application year,
• Mobility dates must correspond to your curriculum. Check the dates of the academic calendars for EACH university you are applying to. This is why we ask you to indicate your mobility dates on your study plans. If they are not compatible with your training or your competition plans, for example, you should not choose this university. No exceptions will be made if you have to return to S2.
• Proof of the language level required by the partner (Toeic, Toefl or Ielts language certification). We strongly advise you to take an official language certificate. Most of the time, you'll be asked for it when you register with your host university. The host university has the right to refuse you if you do not provide official proof of your language level. TOEIC sessions can be organized at FEG. For further information, please contact your Bachelor's or Master's department.

You must have your official proof of language level by the time you register with your host university, i.e. around 4 months before the start of your course.

• Submit a complete application on the mobility platform (link in the When to apply? tab) during the application periods indicated for each destination.

It's essential to know which course you want to go on.

To prepare for your mobility, you need to know the program for the course you'll be taking (see the list of courses on the FEG website).

The courses you choose at your host university should correspond (in terms of skills rather than titles) to those you would have chosen if you were doing your year at the FEG in France.

Study projects allow you to match your skills with those of your mobility period.

Only the people in charge of the course you wish to study are competent to establish the equivalence of courses between those of the FEG and those of your host university. It is they who will sign both your study plan when you apply for the mobility program and your Learning Agreement, which will formalize your choice of courses and your enrolment in them with the host university.

To help you anticipate your expenses, please read our information sheets to help you plan your administrative procedures, budget, insurance, accommodation etc. ...

Among our partner institutions, we distinguish two types of agreement:

• Multi-disciplinary AMU agreements: 1st wave of applications closing around December 15 of each year.

These agreements are managed and negotiated at Aix Marseille University level, so the places negotiated are open to several or even all AMU components. When you apply for a multi-disciplinary agreement, you are competing with all AMU students.

CIVIS universities are part of AMU agreements.

• Agreements with the FEG: 2nd wave of applications closes in mid-March.

They are managed and negotiated by the component (the Faculty of Economics and Management), and negotiated places are reserved for the FEG. When you apply for a disciplinary agreement, you are therefore competing only with FEG students.

ERASMUS agreements are considered FEG agreements.

• Passport valid 6 months after return required for destinations outside Europe (please have it reissued as soon as you apply) or CI for others (note that the UK is no longer in Europe);
• Study plans signed by your academic supervisor (see documents to be completed below). There will be one page per partner university, ALL signed and listed in order of departure preference. Without the signature of your academic supervisor, your application will not be valid,
• CV (in French), even for repeat years,
• Covering letter (not one per destination, but a global letter explaining your mobility project in French).
• Transcripts: BAC + all years up to your application, even if you've repeated a year.
• Official language certificate (Toeic/Toefl/IELTS ) required for countries outside Europe; for other countries, a certificate from your language teacher may suffice (unless otherwise indicated on the partner university's website).

University requirements can be found in the "Where?" tab.

ATTENTION: universities are becoming increasingly demanding in terms of language levels, as a lack of language skills will jeopardize the success of your mobility program if you don't understand the lessons.

Your university average = baccalaureate average + baccalaureate+1 equivalent year average + baccalaureate+2 average ..../number of years considered

ATTENTION:

• SCHOLARSHIP PAYMENTS ARE MADE VERY LATE IN RELATION TO YOUR ARRIVAL ON SITE. THE LATER YOUR DOCUMENTS ARE UPLOADED TO THE MOVEON MOBILITY PLATFORM, THE LATER YOUR PAYMENT WILL BE.

PREPARING YOUR MOBILITY

Scholarships: Eligibility criteria for all SCHOLARSHIPS

• Student must be enrolled at AMU (register before leaving)
• Mobility must be an integral part of the curriculum
• Must be enrolled in at least L2 at the time of application
• SMS (studies): duration of mobility between 3 and 12 months
• SMP (practice / internship): duration of mobility between 2 and 12 months. The calculation is made by the software from date to date, so if you miss a day, you'll get nothing. It's worth modifying the agreement to get 2 full months.

During international exchanges, the student:

• Remains enrolled at AMU
• Does not pay tuition fees at the partner university

Specific Erasmus + grant

For example, a Bachelor's student can take part in a number of different exchanges during his or her degree course:

6-month study period (L2)

+ 3 months study mobility (L3)

+ 3 months internship mobility (L3)

And if the student goes on to do a Master's degree, he or she can again take part in a study or internship mobility program, or a combination of the 2.

Do not exceed 12 months' mobility per study cycle (L/M/D). If you have already taken part in an Erasmus internship or study program during your cycle, DO NOT CHOOSE AN ERASMUS DESTINATION FOR YOUR APPLICATION. You will not be authorized to leave.

When a student participates in the Erasmus + program:

• They remain enrolled at AMU
• They do not pay tuition fees at the partner university.
• Please note that if your university exchange is part of the Erasmus+ program, you will have the opportunity to take a language test via the EU Academy platform. Whatever the result, this will not affect your financial aid, but will enable you to assess your level and access the Erasmus+ program's online courses to support you throughout your mobility.
• A language course to be taken during your mobility (you are free to choose whether or not to take it).
• Your ERASMUS mobility contract must be signed IN PAPER by all parties prior to your mobility .It is sent by the DRI when the ERASMUS grant is awarded, shortly before departure. If the mobility contract is not signed before departure, your grant may be cancelled.

It must be sent in hard copy with original signatures by recorded delivery to

International Relations Department

• It validates the courses taken abroad thanks to the Learning Agreement (LA), which must be signed by your academic supervisor before departure. Any changes to the contract must be agreed by all parties within 4 to 7 weeks of the start of each semester. The person responsible for signing the LA on behalf of AMU is the person in charge of the course in which you are registered for your mobility. The latest version of the LA must be submitted on the form during mobility (name to be defined) on the mobility platform,

PMS scholarship

The files of all students who have validated their scholarship application(2022/23 - Post-nomination stage + 2022/23 - Mobility application form / Closing July 20, 2022 ) on the mobility platform are automatically submitted to the PMS scholarship. However, very few applicants are selected, as this depends on the PMS budget allocated each year by AMU. The target countries are not known before the PMS grants are awarded.

All these documents must be uploaded to the Moveon mobility platform at stage 3 of their stay:
