The Erasmus programme allows students from european partners universities to study at Esban for 1 or 2 semesters.
The candidate for mobility must first ensure that his/her establishment is a signatory of the Erasmus charter, and also that it has entered into a bilateral Erasmus agreement with the Esban (see list of Erasmus partners below). If this is not the case he/she must then ask the International Relations department of his/her school/university to contact the Esban with an aim of establishing an Erasmus partnership (beware: this process may take some time).
Once the partnership has been established, the student must contact the Office for International relations of his/her home institution to know the terms of the partnership (number of students accepted per semester or per year, duration of the exchange, language requirements…)
Nominations
Students don’t apply directly for admission to Esban. The International Office at the home university is in charge of sending the student’s nomination to Esban.
Applications
Upon reception of the nomination sent by the Home University, the Esban international officer will send e-mail to the student and to his/her International Office containing all detailed information about application procedures.

An acceptance letter is posted by the International Office to the home university and is sent to the student by e-mail:

Learning Agreement

Exceptionally, it can be agreed after the student’s arrival in Nîmes.
