Exchange students : bilateral agreement / BCI / Erasmus + programme

Students who wish to come and study at Université de Rennes 1 for a year or a semestre, have to get selected by their home institution in order to be part of the programme. Accordingly, a learning agreement is signed between our university and our partner, regarding the teaching units that will constitute the learning period.

Once the exchange student validates his exams at Université de Rennes 1, he gets credits that will enable him to pursue his studies in his home university or to apply to a graduate programme.

GENERAL INCOMING STUDENTS OFFICE
Accordingly to the French system of Doctorate, students have to start looking for a Phd programme from their 2nd year of Master's degree. Carrying out a doctorate programme in France requires either to have a preliminary contact with a potential supervisor that already has ties with your home institution, or to be willing to work on a specific subject.
In France, the admission procedure is the same for any students willing to enroll a Doctorate programme, whatever his nationality is. The fees are also always the same, that is to say €391, which are the same fees as for French students.
