Students enrolled in the Master’s in International Law or European Law may participate in an exchange program during the second semester of their second year of the Master’s program.

There are several funding options available to help you cover your expenses during your international mobility as part of an exchange program. Scholarships are paid after the start of the stay and do not cover all mobility-related expenses, so it is important to budget for your mobility in advance (choice of destination, cost of living, etc.).
You can find more information on the UGA website.
For dual degree mobility with the Europa-Institut in the Master's in European Law, you will receive a €3,500 scholarship from the Franco-German University.

The UGA Mobility Center regularly organizes various workshops to help you prepare your application.

1. Academic level for destinations outside Europe and the United Kingdom
2. Language level for all non-French-speaking destinations
3. Consistency of the mobility project, well-thought-out project
4. Feasibility of the project (independence and budget)

The required language proficiency level varies by partner university. Generally, the required levels are B1 or B2 in the language of instruction. For programs taught in English, the most common requirement is B2.
Information regarding language requirements and required tests is available for each partner university on the UGA website (interactive map) for destinations outside Europe.

The selection process is as follows:
1. Mid-January: for departures outside Europe ( selection is based on academic results from L1 and L2).
2. Early March: for departures within Europe (selection is based on academic results from L1 and S3 for departures in L3; on academic results from L1, L2, and S5. Students who have not validated their last semester will not be selected for mobility).

Your application for the Master's program is reviewed at the same time as your mobility application, i.e. in January for destinations outside Europe and in March for European destinations. Students may apply for a maximum of four Master's programs. If the student is not accepted into any Master's program, their mobility application is canceled.

If you participate in a traditional exchange program, in L3 or M1, and earn all the required ECTS credits, you will receive the UGA degree for which you are enrolled in the year of exchange.
If you participate in a dual Master's degree program and earn all the required ECTS credits, you will receive both the UGA degree and the degree from the partner university. Find out more about double degrees on this page.

If you are participating in a traditional exchange or dual degree program with the University of Sherbrooke or the Free University of Brussels, you will only pay registration fees to UGA.
If you are participating in a dual degree program with the Europa-Institut at Saarland University, you will have to pay registration fees to that university but will be exempt from paying registration fees to UGA.
