Every year, the IMPGT welcomes international students to its programs, from Bachelor's degrees to doctorates, as part of exchange programs or as independent candidates.
In addition, the Aix-Marseille Université International Relations Department orchestrates a series of welcome activities to ensure the smooth integration of international students. In particular, all new students arriving from outside Europe are required to go through the international student reception desk.
Before you can take part in an exchange program at the IMPGT, you need to make sure that there is an agreement between your home university and the IMPGT (Aix-Marseille Université). Then, you must first be selected by your home university to take part in one of the exchange programs. Please contact your university's international relations department.
Once your home university has selected you, your international relations department will forward your application to us.
At the IMPGT, all courses are taught in French. A minimum level of B2 is required.
