The Master 120 in Communication offers an "Erasmus or International Exchange" option allowing the student to take 30 credits of his/her 2nd year block programme in another university. This 3 to 4 month stay is carried out by the student in the first or second semester.
Some forty destinations are offered to students (/fr/facultes/espo/comu/etudiant-out.html):
- 2 in Belgium as part of the Erasmus Belgica projects;Ìý
- 10 outside Europe;
- 1 in Switzerland;
- about thirty within the framework of the Erasmus programmes.Ìý
To be selected, students must write a relevant CV and a letter of motivation in which they explain their project and how the stay abroad will fit into their training. They must propose three destinations. The procedure has been computerised. The documents are to be filled in via the web by the end of January. The selection is made during the following week by the competent authorities of the School. The list of successful candidates (subject to success in June) is communicated at an information session planned for February. Ìý
The selection criteria are
- the relevance of the project to the course;
- prior knowledge of the language of the country visited or commitment to follow a training course
- academic results.
In addition, students must commit to participating in the hosting of Erasmus students.
The School always wishes to favour the departure of as many students as possible who reasonably meet the criteria. In some cases, due to excessive demand for certain destinations, the Committee will be forced to grant the second or third choice.
In addition to these exchange programmes, the School of Communication offers a co-degree programme withÌý
- University of Sherbrooke (Canada): Codiplomation UCL-SherbrookeÌý
- University of Sherbrooke (Canada) and the University of Sciences Po Aix (France).
