Student life
International experience
Every ESPÉ student can spend time abroad, on exchange, on placement or volunteering, with ten partner universities in Europe and the Americas. Agreements allow stays of one semester to a full year, and an international grant of up to €2,000, which can be combined with means-tested support, helps fund them.
An intercultural approach
With students, teachers and partners from around the world, the school wants to become a melting pot that gives a distinctive personal and professional identity, with a strong sensitivity to transcultural psychology. It is a year of adventure you may never have the chance to live again.

Visas and housing

Partner universities may offer housing solutions, also at the student's expense.
Why go abroad
Living in another culture, meeting new people and discovering new places shows future employers that you can adapt, take initiative and work in an environment that is not your own.
Mental health is not thought about the same way from one country to another. What a practitioner takes for granted turns out to be cultural as soon as the context changes.
The programme built for this
The International Bachelor runs across three countries in three years.
