Étudiant·es entrant·es

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.

Enrolment is compulsory and entitles the student to a Léocarte, which gives access to university catering and student services. Civil liability insurance is compulsory.
