We consider the effort made as a criterion of attribution and not the allocation of the destination as the starting point of the effort to be provided. No promise of apprenticeship will be accepted.

In order to prove this level B1 required, the LSM organizes free written tests (30 minutes) in December 6th, 2018 for each of these languages. It is only with the success of this test (s) that you will be able to mention one of the countries mentioned above in your list of choices of destinations.

Students who have left before you have completed stays reports concerning their exchange period and their host university. These forms provide a wealth of useful information about courses, the organization of the stay, the cost of living, etc.

We have also compiled a series of information about the partner universities of the LSM on Moodle (LSM- Exchanges Internationales). This space is at your disposal.

You will receive regularly emails containing some useful and important information, be careful not to miss a deadline or important instructions.
