Please note that students enrolled in a doctoral programme at Sorbonne University are still considered ‘students’. However, when they are awarded a doctoral contract, this also gives them ‘researcher’ status. Some approaches and resources that apply in these cases can be found in the “teacher and researcher” profile.
Student profile
Choose the “student” profile if you are enrolled at Sorbonne University to study for a degree, sit an entrance exam, do an internship or study for a course that does not result in a degree.
This profile is designed to centralise all the information you need and procedures to follow in connection with your studies at the university, giving you easy access to student resources and services such as registration procedures, financial aid, healthcare and student life.
There are different types of international student mobility. Choose the one that corresponds to your situation for the appropriate steps to take.
This type of student mobility is part of an international programme leading to the award of a degree from each partner institution. It must be governed by a partnership agreement between Sorbonne University and your home institution.
- International students enrolled in an international programme at Bachelor's or Master's level at their home institution and at Sorbonne University. This type of course includes a compulsory international mobility experience.
- International PhD students enrolled in an international joint doctoral programme at their home institution and at Sorbonne University. This type of course includes a compulsory international mobility experience.
This type of student mobility involves enrolling in a course at a foreign establishment in order to obtain a degree. This is a personal initiative.
- International Bachelor's or Master's level (or equivalent) and PhD students, enrolled individually in a degree course at Sorbonne University. These students fall into the category of free movers.
This type of student mobility consists of spending part of your university course abroad without receiving a degree from the host institution. It must be governed by a partnership agreement between Sorbonne University and the student's home institution or be part of an official programme. The internationally mobile student does not receive a degree from the host institution at the end of their stay.
- International Bachelor's or Master's level (or equivalent) and PhD students, selected for exchange mobility at Sorbonne University under a framework or specific international cooperation agreement including this type of scheme.
- International Bachelor's or Master's level (or equivalent) and PhD students, selected for mobility at Sorbonne University under a bilateral Erasmus+ agreement signed with their home institution or a multilateral agreement signed at the level of the 4EU+ European University Alliance.
- International Bachelor's or Master's level (or equivalent) and PhD students, selected for mobility at Sorbonne University under an official scheme (for example, Chateaubriand Fellowships, Hubert Curien Partnerships, etc.).
This type of student mobility involves spending part of your university course abroad at an institution with which your home institution does not have a partnership. The internationally mobile student does not receive a degree from the host institution at the end of their stay.
- International students at Bachelor's or Master's level (or equivalent) who are completing a period of study at Sorbonne University but whose home institution has not signed an international cooperation agreement with the university. These students fall into the category of free movers.
- International PhD students (visiting young researchers) who are completing a period of research at Sorbonne University but whose home institution has not signed an international cooperation agreement with the university. These PhD students fall into the category of free movers.
