Our international strategy stays on several axes:
Receive great experience, explore the world, raise your language skills, and give an international dimension to your CV… while benefiting from financial aid. It is just a short part of the benefits to receive from an exchange program in IAE.
The IAE allows you to study at a partner institution for 1 or 2 semesters in your Master’s course. Several programs are open to you: Erasmus + (for stays in partner universities in Europe), partnership programs in Canada (CREPUQ program, partner universities in New Brunswick) and in the United States (Oregon program).
Also, the programs such as Fulbright Foundation and CIEP allow you to make your exchange.
Those organisations released a unique scholarship program to fund your international experience. The amount of this aid may vary, plus it depends on your status (have you already got the scholarship or not) and your destination (inside or outside Europe). The amount of aid subsidy is from €60 per week to €500 per month. Moreover, the aid for travel costs may be requested (from €200 to €400 according to the destination)
You want to come and study at the IAE as a foreigner and become a participant in a partnership (Erasmus+ program, bilateral agreement, etc.) or individually. Welcome!
There are two ways to go about it:
The procedures for submitting an application or finding accommodation in Poitiers can vary. But, Internation Relations Office is always available to help.

Daniela Sund, Finlande, Master 2 Gestion des Ressources Humaines, IAE de Poitiers
My Human Resource Management studies at IAE de Poitiers have been very fruitful and interesting. The teachers are good and part of the courses are given by specialists from outside the university. The studies are intensive with many classes, but you learn a lot. My program contains a 6 month long internship, which really enriches the experience from the studies abroad.
I like Poitiers as a city as well. You will like Poitiers if you prefer smaller cities in combination with many cultural and historic sights and beautiful views. The association Méli-Mélo arranges many different activities for exchange students. Also, university sports offers a really wide range of activities and courses.

Alina Stanescu (Timisoara, Roumanie), Master 2 Management International, IAE de Poitiers
By coming to the IAE de Poitiers as an Erasmus student I have met colleagues with different backgrounds, coming from a culture very different from mine. We shared our traditions, our past experiences and we lived new ones. And now I have new friends from all over the world: Canada, China, Egypt, Madagascar, France, Morocco … Besides that, Poitiers is an extremely multicultural city, so I got to know many other foreign students. In the second semester I had to do an internship, and this way I better discovered the French culture, French management, the magnificent French cuisine. A wonderful experience!

Johann Robisoa, Madagascar, Master 2 Management International
Grâce au service relations internationales, je me suis vite sentie bien au sein de l’IAE. Ils ont accompagné toutes mes démarches avant même que j’arrive à Poitiers, et l’accueil fut impeccable. Mon séjour a également été facilité par l’obtention d’une bourse de la région Poitou-Charentes. L’IAE de Poitiers offre une formation de qualité dans un environnement propice aux études, et ayant eu la chance d’être dans la classe la plus internationale de l’institut, j’ai pu découvrir en quelques mois des cultures magnifiques comme celle de l’Egypte, du Canada, de la Roumanie, et bien sur la culture française… La ville de Poitiers elle-même étant une ville étudiante, je n’ai pas eu le temps de m’ennuyer entre les études, les soirées internationales et la découverte de la région. Cette expérience fut indéniablement l’une des plus riches de ma vi
