Incoming students

ésadhar welcomes exchange students from all over the world for one or two semesters.

Students enrolled under a bilateral agreement or an Erasmus+ agreement are exempt from tuition fees. At the end of the mobility program, ésadhar provides students with a transcript of grades (expressed in ECTS), so that they can have their studies validated by their home institution.

To facilitate integration, ésadhar offers advanced French language courses at the University of Le Havre or Rouen, as well as some courses in English.

Enrollment is mandatory and entitles the student to a Léocarte, which provides access to university dining services and student services. Liability insurance is mandatory.
