DRI-ETUDIANTSINTERNATIONAUX-01.jpg

CRISIS SITUATION - CORONAVIRUS

Boarders crossing - COVID-19  restrictions

Depending on your country of origin, the steps to follow are different.

  1. You are coming to France from a green area country : you can travel to France without restriction.
  2. You are coming to France from a red area country : you must carry :
  • The exceptional international travel certificate for Metropolitan France which can be downloaded on the Ministry of the Interior’s website. You must present this certificate to travel companies before using your travel ticket, as well as to border control authorities (for travel by air, sea and land, including by rail).
  • A sworn statement that you do not have COVID-19 symptoms (included in the same document).
  • A “contact” sheet provinding your residence address in France

Find templates here.

Additional  steps depending on your country of origin apply (being tested for instance).

Read detailed procedures and lists of green or red areas here.

Official Governement Communication can be found in the useful documents section.

Depending on boarders re-opening and visas obtentions, all international students who arrived in France will be allowed to join the AMU community and attend their 2020 Fall Semester.


Once in France, international students will be invited to start their program by following the sanitary rules in place and as required for all AMU's students.

  • As of now, AMU is planning on delivering in-person courses. Yet, learning conditions may vary depending on the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to abide by health authority guidelines, some classes could partially move online while some others could entirely move online. Computers and internet connections will thus be required.
  • We strongly advise you to regularly check your faculty website for the latest updates on the Fall Semester learning conditions. Find your faculty website here.

STEP 2 : Pedagogical Registration (IP)

Pedagogical Registration is your final registration step and will enable you to choose your semester classes.
Pedagogical Registration is mandatory, will be processed once in France and once your Administrative Registration is finalized.


Distance Learning

Distance Learning Diplomas listed on the Campus France's website differ from 2020 Fall Term courses that would usually be held in-person, but due to the COVID-19 situation will be delivered online as Web Oriented courses. Distance Learning Diplomas are rather:

  • Diplomas of their own, for wich online attendance will be required all year long (Fall and Winter Semester)
  • Diplomas with specific tuition fees, admission and registration processes.

If you are interested by one of our Distance Learning Program, please check out admission requirements on the Campus France's website.
