Applying as an Eras­mus + or exchange student

Ensaama has bila­te­ral agree­ments with seve­ral ins­ti­tu­tions in Europe (Eras­mus +) and out­side Europe.
If you are a student in one of our part­ner ins­ti­tu­tions, you can apply as an exchange student.

Stu­dents with disa­bi­li­ties may apply and get an Eras­mus + Disa­bi­lity Sup­ple­ment. For more infor­ma­tion, contact your home ins­ti­tu­tion.

To check if there is a student exchange pro­gramme with your uni­ver­sity, please visit the ​“part­ners” sec­tion on this web­site.

Dead­line for appli­ca­tion

Autumn semes­ter and whole year: June 1
Spring semes­ter: Novem­ber 5

You need to send by email to: relations-​internationales@​ensaama.​net

  • An Erasmus+/Exchange appli­ca­tion form
  • A CV
  • A cover letter /​personal sta­te­ment
  • An online port­fo­lio

Please note that the balance bet­ween inbound and out­bound stu­dents with our part­ner ins­ti­tu­tions may be taken into account in the selec­tion pro­cess depen­ding on the number of appli­ca­tions.

Contact : relations-​internationales@​ensaama.​net

If your school is not one of our part­ners but you still wish to study at our ins­ti­tu­tion, you may apply in the first year of DNMADE through Par­cour­sup or in DSAA through Can­di­da­ture DSAA.

Assess your level in French

The Common Euro­pean Fra­me­work of Refe­rence for lan­guages defines the levels of lan­guage users.

There are six levels :
Basic User A1 and A2
Inde­pendent User B1 and B2
Pro­fi­cient User C1 and C2

Lan­guage Policy

Level

To make the best of a study period at Ensaama, it is highly recom­men­ded to have some know­ledge of French, at least the B2 level of the Common Euro­pean Fra­me­work of Refe­rence for Lan­guages.
Please note that we may accept Eras­mus + stu­dents or exchange stu­dents with basic know­ledge of French, as we also offer some courses in English and French as a foreign lan­guage. Cre­dits are allot­ted to these courses when inclu­ded in the stu­dents’ lear­ning agree­ment.

In a self-taught approach, stu­dents can regis­ter at esp@ce langues, Cité inter­na­tio­nale uni­ver­si­taire for about 30€ a year to improve their French. 

Self-assess­ment at Euro­pass

Stu­dents can also choose to par­ti­ci­pate in lan­guage exchange events for native French and English spea­kers: www.franglish and on Face­book Fran­glish — Paris

Credit Trans­fer Policy

All courses at ENSAAMA are both asses­sed with a local mark and ECTS cre­dits.
During a study period at ENSAAMA, exchange stu­dents are asses­sed like French stu­dents. The courses they take are all part of a lear­ning agree­ment signed at the begin­ning of the study period. The very first days of the study period are dedi­ca­ted to the ela­bo­ra­tion of the stu­dents’ time­tables as exchange stu­dents do not gene­rally follow all courses (though they can if they want to). Please note that some courses (espe­cially theo­re­ti­cal ones) cannot be fol­lo­wed but with a very good com­mand of French.
At the end of the period, stu­dents receive a trans­cript of records sta­ting all courses taken with local marks, com­ments and cre­dits.

Pas­sport

All visi­tors coming to France must be in pos­ses­sion of a valid pas­sport issued by their home coun­try; or a valid iden­tity card if they are from a Euro­pean Union coun­try. The pas­sport must be valid for at least the dura­tion of the study period.

Visa

If you come from a Euro­pean Union coun­try (Ger­many, Bel­gium, Aus­tria, Bul­ga­ria, Cyprus, Den­mark, Spain, Esto­nia, Fin­land, France, Greece, Hun­ga­ria, Ire­land, Italy, Latvia, Lithua­nia, Luxem­burg, Malta, Nether­lands, Poland, Czech Repu­blic, Ruma­nia, United King­dom, Slo­va­kia, Slo­ve­nia, Sweden) or from Ice­land, Liech­ten­stein, Norway, Swi­zer­land, Monaco or Andorra you do not need a visa to come and study in France.

Visas are issued by the French Consu­late in your home coun­try. Stu­dents will be given a long visa as a student which will give you the right to obtain a one-year rene­wable student resi­dence permit.

To get your visa you must fill in an appli­ca­tion form at the French Consu­late in your home coun­try and pro­vide the fol­lo­wing:

  • a valid pas­sport,
  • proof that you have suf­fi­cient resources to live in France (on ave­rage €500 a month),
  • proof of social secu­rity cover,
  • your accep­tance letter from Ensaama,
  • a valid travel docu­ment.

More infor­ma­tion at CIUP — Ser­vice Access

Resi­dence permit and OFII medi­cals — Long-stay visa

If you are going to be staying in France for more than three months, you must apply in France for a tem­po­rary student resi­dence permit at the local police head­quar­ters – Pré­fec­ture – of the area where you are living. This does not apply if you have been issued with a valid visa that clearly states you do not need to apply for a tem­po­rary resi­dence permit.

People with student visas called ​“visa de long séjour valant titre de séjour” for longer than three months are exempt from reques­ting tem­po­rary resi­dence per­mits for the 1st year of their stay in France.
You are a student and you have this new type of visa: you still need to contact the Office Fran­çais de l’Immigration et de l’Intégration (OFII) upon your arri­val to take a medi­cal and have your visa appro­ved as a resi­dence permit.

More infor­ma­tion at CIUP — Ser­vice Access

If you have ano­ther student visa or a visa ​“concours études”, you need to apply for a ​“titre de séjour” (resi­dence permit) at Pré­fec­ture de Police de Paris. Click here to get to the Pré­fec­ture de Paris web­site.

Stu­dents from Euro­pean Union Member States, the Euro­pean Eco­no­mic Area and Swit­zer­land do not need to apply for a resi­dence permit.
Howe­ver, stu­dents from Roma­nia and Bul­ga­ria will need a resi­dence permit if they intend wor­king.

Social secu­rity

You must have social secu­rity cover if you intend staying in France for more than three months unless you are 

  • a student from the Euro­pean Union and have your Euro­pean Health Insu­rance Card. Click here for more infor­ma­tion.

If you are a student from out­side Europe, follow the link: ameli​.fr

  • more than 28 years old and you are not a citi­zen from a Euro­pean Union Coun­try; You must take out a pri­vate insu­rance or, if your income is low and if you’ve been living in France for more than three months, you can apply for the CMU (Uni­ver­sal Health Cove­rage). Regis­tra­tion at the CMU is made at the CPAM (Health Insu­rance Offices) of the dis­trict of Paris where you live. CPAM’s addresses are avai­lable on the web­site of AMeli ““Assu­rance Mala­die en ligne““

Non-Euro­pean Union stu­dents

If you are going to be staying for more than three months in France, you must take out a student social secu­rity scheme, even if you have already sub­scri­bed to a foreign public scheme or have French or other pri­vate insu­rance.

Wor­king in France

You may be plan­ning to work during your stay in France to help finance your stu­dies. Work regu­la­tions for foreign stu­dents in France can vary from one situa­tion to ano­ther. Visit work-in-france to learn about the regu­la­tions that apply in each case.

Public trans­port in Paris

Paris public trans­port is ope­ra­ted by the RATP and includes the métro subway system, RER trains, buses, night buses, Mont­mar­tro­bus, and the Mont­martre funi­cu­lar rail­way, all of which accept the same tickets and passes (but see also RER trains below). You can pur­chase indi­vi­dual tickets, book­lets of ten tickets or a pas offe­ring unli­mi­ted travel.

» RATP [public trans­port in Paris]

The Metro

The Paris métro system is a marvel of effi­ciency, pro­vi­ding safe and fast trans­por­ta­tion for more than nine mil­lion pas­sen­gers each day. It com­prises over 200 kilo­me­ters of track and 370 sta­tions. Métro lines are num­be­red from 1 to 15, while the direc­tion of trains is indi­ca­ted by the name of the last sta­tion on the line. For example, east­bound Line 1 trains are labe­led Cha­teau de Vin­cennes, while west­bound Line 1 trains are labe­led La Défense. A map of the métro system is avai­lable here.
Métro trains begin run­ning at about 05h30, conti­nuing until about 00h30 (half past mid­night). Free maps of the métro system are avai­lable at each sta­tion.

RER trains

Regio­nal com­mu­ter trains extend the reach of public trans­port into the Paris sub­urbs. Called the RER, the five train lines are iden­ti­fied by the let­ters A, B, C, D, and E. There is an online map of the RER system avai­lable here. Like the métro, RER trains run from about 5:30am to about 0:30am (half past mid­night).
Out­side the Paris area spe­cial RER fares and tickets apply, inclu­ding while tra­vel­ling to or from the air­ports, Ver­sailles, and Dis­ney­land© Paris.

Paris buses

Paris bus routes are num­be­red, and begin ope­ra­tion at 6:30am. The last bus usually leaves the ter­mi­nal bet­ween 8:30pm and 9:30pm, but a few lines run until half past mid­night, as indi­ca­ted by signs at the bus stops. There are also night buses, called Noc­tam­bus, which ope­rate hourly bet­ween Cha­te­let and the main gates of Paris from 1am to 5am. The night routes are labe­led with let­ters rather than num­bers.
Maps of the bus routes can be found in bus shel­ters and inside the buses. Most shel­ters dis­play the name of the stop to help you keep track of where you are. If only a few people are wai­ting for the bus, signal the driver to stop.

Vélib’

The Mairie de Paris (City Hall) ope­rates a ​“Vélib’” rental pro­gramme with thou­sands of three-speed unisex bikes at hun­dreds of sta­tions or ​“ser­vice points” around the city.
To visit the Vélib’ web­site, clik here.

Accom­mo­da­tion

Short stays, long stays, the dif­ferent types of accom­mo­da­tion, web­sites for stu­dents,… you’ll find infor­ma­tion that will help you on Campus France, The City of Paris Inter­na­tio­nal Uni­ver­sity and Accom­mo­da­tion in Paris.

Hou­sing bene­fits

Inter­na­tio­nal stu­dents are entit­led to social hou­sing bene­fit. This aid is gran­ted by the family allo­wance fund (Caisse d’allocations fami­liales — CAF) accor­ding to cer­tain cri­te­ria. These aids come in two forms: The APL (Aide Per­son­na­li­sée au Loge­ment — indi­vi­dual hou­sing aid) and the ALS (Allo­ca­tion Loge­ment à carac­tère social – social-hou­sing allo­wance).

For infor­ma­tion and appli­ca­tion forms click here.

You might also visit the Cnous/​Crous web­site, the ins­ti­tu­tio­nal portal for student life.
At the head of the natio­nal net­work of the CROUS, the CNOUS aims to improve stu­dents’ lives in many ways, inclu­ding food ser­vices, hou­sing, grants, social and cultu­ral acti­vi­ties, and inter­na­tio­nal mobi­lity.

Ren­ting accom­mo­da­tion

Before ren­ting a room or a flat, seve­ral steps must be com­ple­ted by both the tenant and the land­lord.

If you are ren­ting from a pri­vate owner, it is com­pul­sory to draw-up a lease agree­ment.
You will gene­rally be asked for a third-party gua­ran­tor (who will nor­mally be your parents) and two months rent in advance. This will act as a depo­sit to be retur­ned to you when you leave, pro­vi­ding no damage has been done.
A cer­ti­fi­cate of insu­rance may also be requi­red.
Be aware that before signing the lease, an inven­tory of the pro­perty must be car­ried out, taking note of all the imperfections/​problems/​faults visible in the apart­ment. You have to leave the accom­mo­da­tion in the state in which you found it.
Ask for a receipt with each rent pay­ment. This will serve as proof that you have paid your share. Please note that before signing any contract, it is neces­sary to deter­mine exactly what is inclu­ded in the rent and find out if bills (care­ta­ker ser­vice, clea­ning and main­te­nance) are inclu­ded in the price of the rent. Gene­rally spea­king, hea­ting and elec­tri­city bills are not inclu­ded.
If you share your landlord’s flat, you must make sure you are allo­wed to have visi­tors.
Before lea­ving, you must submit a notice of ter­mi­na­tion to the land­lord, usually one to three months in advance, by sen­ding a recor­ded-deli­very letter noti­fying your depar­ture.
If you stay for longer than a month at one address, you will have to pay a local tax.
Home insu­rance is com­pul­sory and it is up to the tenant to arrange for it. The amount to be paid for insu­rance will vary accor­ding to the size of the flat and the risks cove­red.

Uni­ver­sity res­tau­rants

While you can use the school’s res­tau­rant at lunch­time, you might want to try the uni­ver­sity res­tau­rants, run by the CNOUS and CROUS for dinner. There are seve­ral in Paris. They offer a variety of options: food to go, snacks and bras­se­rie, tra­di­tio­nal meals, cafe­te­rias… Each of these res­tau­rants is a centre of student life where you can share a good meal with your friends for a low price.

Sports, PUC and Cité inter­na­tio­nale uni­ver­si­taire de Paris

The Cité inter­na­tio­nale is a part­ner of the Paris Uni­ver­sité Club (PUC) asso­cia­tion and pro­vides sports faci­li­ties for stu­dents. Whe­ther for lei­sure or com­pe­ti­tion, you will surely find the sports you like at www​.puc​.asso​.fr. There are spe­cial prices for stu­dents.
