Everyone, dare international mobility!
As a student at the University of Lille, you have the opportunity to go on an international mobility program - study or internship - during your studies. Find out how to choose your mobility program.
Inclusion and diversity are top priorities when it comes to providing appropriate support for international mobility projects. Any University of Lille student with fewer opportunities due to their social, economic or cultural background, disability, origin or place of residence has the right to international mobility.
In connection with Erasmus+ and the Office for Student Life & Disability (BVE&H), the University of Lille is committed to offering all its students support in this unique and enriching experience.
To help you choose your host school, we suggest you consult the following website Inclusive Mobility an online accessibility mapping tool for higher education institutions developed by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN).
To facilitate your international mobility and meet your specific needs, under the Erasmus+ program, it is possible to obtain additional funding on top of the Erasmus+ mobility grant. The costs eligible for supplementary funding can be diverse: specific accommodation, assistance from a companion during the trip, medical follow-up, material support, home help, a sign language interpreter or even a life auxiliary.
Requests for assistance with special needs can take some time, so we ask you to apply as early as possible, and no later than two months before your departure, so that all the supporting documents making up your application can be studied by the University of Lille's International Mobility Department and the Erasmus+ Agency. To help you put together your application to cover the real costs of expenses incurred as a result of your disability or ALD, contact the ESH advisor in the International Relations Department: outgoing-specialneedsarobaseuniv-lillepointfr
And you should also check with your degree program's International Relations manager or the International Relations department to find out what steps you need to take to apply for international mobility.
You can also contact the BVE&H at the same time to get support throughout the process.
The Erasmus+ program aims to promote equal opportunities and equal access, inclusion, diversity and equity through all its actions.

It's important to know that applying for this scholarship can be a lengthy process, both for you and for the institution concerned. The application is made in cooperation between the student and the higher education institution in relation with the national agency. It's also worth noting that not all higher education establishments in Europe have yet had experience of applying for and managing this type of grant, and you may be the first person to apply. It is therefore important to contact your home institution well in advance to find out about this grant, and to ensure that you have sufficient time to prepare the necessary documents to receive it. Your school can help you fill in the various forms, and some national agencies also offer preparatory visits to the host university.
