Pre-selection criteria
The course heads, international relations representatives from the faculty/school/institute and the International Relations department together select students for all study trips abroad based on the number of available places at each destination.
The following are the most widely used selection criteria for each faculty:
- university results
- proficiency in the language of study or work required by the host institute
- the student’s motivation/project
- the student’s level of maturity
- any previous periods of mobility completed
For mobility schemes outside Europe, the Central University committee convenes each year in February to take into account the rankings drawn up by the faculties/schools/institutes and the limited number of places available for each establishment/programme.
Whatever the circumstances, for study trips both in and outside Europe, the host university reserves the right to accept or reject mobility requests.
Get the information you need and prepare your application
To prepare your study trip abroad in optimal conditions, you are strongly advised to start looking for information at least one year ahead of your planned departure date.
Meet with your international relations representative and/or the International Relations department at your faculty/school/institute.
Throughout the academic year, events are organised to promote mobility schemes on the various campuses of the University of Lille, including:
- in September as part of the JIVE (student life immersion days)

The deadlines and application procedures for study trips as part of an exchange programme vary depending on the destination and your faculty/school/institute.
