AMU has a large network of partner universities around the world. Within the framework of these partnerships, we welcome international exchange students, for one semester or full year. Students coming under the ERASMUS+, BCI, ISEP or bilateral cooperation programs are eligible for exchange mobility at AMU. The application and admission procedure for an exchange program consists in several steps.
Step 1: Application at your home university
Before you can take part in a exchange program at Aix-Marseille University, you must check that there is a cooperation agreement between your home university and AMU.
You must then follow the application procedure of your university.
If your application is accepted, you will be nominated by your international coordinator at your home university, to our international international mobility managers at AMU.
Step 2: Application after your nomination
Once your university has sent your nomination, you can proceed with your AMU application.
After validation by AMU of your nomination, you will receive a link by email, with instructions to complete the online application (MOVEON platform) by uploading the requested documents.
