PROCEDURE

PREPARE YOUR DEPARTURE

An international mobility for your studies or your internship is an experience that must be prepared in advance.
Financial aid for mobility

Different types of aid are available for mobility such as:

  • Erasmus+ grants funded by the European Union and awarded for mobility or internships in one of the countries participating in the program.
  • International Mobility Aid (AMI) set up and funded by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation (MESRI). Université Côte d'Azur manages the applications and helps students, who are recipients of a CROUS scholarship to carry out their mobility project under the best conditions.
  • Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility, a program introduced by the European Commission to allow students to study or complete an internship in countries outside the European Union. This program is also open to faculty and staff.
  • International Mobility Scholarships of the Sud Region were set up by the Sud Region to encourage international mobility among students of Université Côte d'Azur. These scholarships can be used for study abroad or internships.
  • Foreign scholarships offered by some foreign countries, institutions, or universities to foreign students.
Internship abroad
The LIFE Graduate School and Université Côte d'Azur offer students the opportunity to complete an internship in a foreign country. Discover the different programs set up to help you organize your mobility.
 
Formalities
ID card, passport, visa

The residence permit you will need depends on the length of your stay for study or an internship and the country you are going to.

  • In the European Union: a valid ID card or passport is enough.
  • In countries outside the European Union (located in the European zone): if you are planning to leave for a period of less than 3 months, a passport is enough. If you are planning to stay longer than six months, you will need a visa.
  • Outside the European Union: regulations vary from country to country. You need to check with the embassy of the relevant country.
Health insurance and social security

It is essential to be well insured before leaving. Many foreign universities require students to provide a certificate of insurance before they can enroll.

  • For stays in Europe: you must obtain a European health insurance card from the Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie before your departure. You can request one online through your Ameli account.
  • For stays outside Europe: your social protection varies depending on your destination. Contact the CPAM directly to find out what requirements apply in your case.
