International relations

Responsable : Bernard Gruzza

Our future engineers need to be trained to occupy high responsibility positions in a global context. Job experience abroad is therefore an excellent opportunity to develop this quality. International Relations at Polytech'Clermont-Ferrand within the framework of Blaise Pascal University are part of a network rich in research and training collaboration to promote students and teachers mobility. T hese actions involve numerous schools and universities based on the following geographical areas:

• American, Canadian, South-American and Mexican universities, offering many opportunities of studies, PhD trainings and internships.
  
• Europe : universities within the EU, but also from Central and Eastern Europe
  
• The Pacific: exchanges with Australian and Chinese institutions along with research collaborations with Japan.
  
• Africa: supervisory work and cooperation, especially strong in Sub-Saharan Africa.

These partnerships are reinforced by other crucially important actions, namely:

• The application of the European Credits transfer System (ECTS) which guarantees the acknowledgement of studies abroad.
• The SOCRATES and LEONARDO agreements to encourage staff and student mobility
• Co-supervising supervised PhD studies
• Grants from local authorities

Please look at the list of exchange programmes under the responsibility of CUST and the others. You will also find more information on the Master Eiffel web site.

two double diploma agreements have been signed with the universities of Oklahoma (US) and Cranfield (GB).
In both cases the partnership allows us to select the students on the basis of their personal project and in both cases the level in English has to be excellent.
