Exchange programs

Students from partner universities of Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 may apply to spend one or two semesters at Polytech Lyon. Students interested in applying should contact the International Office at their home institution for information (on IIA, deadlines…). The International Office at the home institution will send your nomination either to the International Desk at Polytech or to the central International Office at Université Claude Bernard Lyon I that will redirect the nomination email to the correct school/faculty. 

Prior to your arrival, you will need to define a course programme that is validated by your study department at home and the local academic advisor. (please note this course programme may require some adjustments when you arrive, depending on open courses/pre-requisites for a course.)

At the end of your stay, Polytech Lyon will edit a transcript, in order to transfer the credits to your home institution. Polytech Lyon does not award degrees to exchange students.
