An International Partnership Diploma (IPD) covers different types of collaboration between Aix-Marseille Université and one or more foreign institutions with a view to awarding a double or multiple degree(s), or a joint degree, or the relocation of an Aix-Marseille University course within a partner institution.
These programmes allow Aix-Marseille Université students to study in one or more foreign universities, for one or more semesters, continuously or during several periods. At the end of their training, students obtain both the Aix-Marseille Université diploma and the diploma(s) of the partner university(ies) (in case of double, triple and multiple diplomas).
