Read first: types of agreements, glossary...

The UGA offers two types of trips:

 

I. Agreements managed by the UGA's central international relations services (DGD DIT), mainly outside Europe:

Agreements that UGA has signed with other universities around the world, mainly outside Europe. These agreements involve several departments, and selection is therefore carried out centrally by the DGD-DIT.
 

The DGD-DIT manages four types of agreements:

Bilateral Agreements Outside Europe
Bilateral Agreements Europe
Multilateral Agreements / Networks Europe
Multilateral Agreements / Networks Outside Europe
Bilateral and network agreements in Europe:

- network agreements in Europe, such as AURORA
- bilateral agreements in Europe, such as Swansea
Bilateral Agreements Outside Europe:

Examples: Boston, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong), Australian National University (Australia), Universidad Adolfo Ibañez (Chile).
Multilateral/network agreements outside Europe:
(A network/multilateral agreement is an agreement that brings together several universities, and by applying for this agreement, you are applying to several universities)

Non-European network agreements
- TASSEP (North America), PowerPoint from the Tassep meeting on September 28, 2022
- ORA (Ontario, Canada) --> NOT OPEN FOR 2022/2023
- BCI (Quebec, Canada)

II. Agreements managed by the Chemistry and Biology component, mainly in Europe:

These are agreements that the Chemistry and Biology Department has made directly with partner universities.
As these are mainly European agreements, we refer to them as: Europe Agreement, Erasmus+ Agreement, Component Agreement.

The component manages three types of agreements:
Erasmus+ agreements: with European partners.
Bilateral Agreements Outside Europe: partners outside Europe, such as the United Kingdom, which has left Europe.
Multilateral/Network Agreements: Network agreements in Europe and outside Europe.
 
The application package and application schedule are the same for both types of agreements.

Selection is carried out within the component, managed by our international relations department.

Glossary

Bilateral Agreements: A bilateral agreement is a political commitment between two consenting parties. Bilateral agreements are negotiated between the university or a component thereof and a partner university or component.

Component agreement: Component agreements are agreements that the UFR has negotiated and signed with universities alone or with other components. These are mainly agreements with European universities. Students wishing to go to a component agreement destination will be assessed by the UFR's IR team.

Network/Multilateral Agreements: Network/multilateral agreements are agreements involving at least three universities. 

Application: Application, in this case referring to the application submitted following the student's nomination by the host university.

AMI Grant: International Mobility Assistance (AMI) from the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation.

BRMI Scholarship: Regional Scholarship for International Student Mobility (BRMIE) in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region.

Erasmus grant: Erasmus+ study grant (SMS)awarded as part of the European Union's Erasmus+ program.

IELTS: The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a paid English test required by some of our partner universities. Please check carefully which tests the universities require.

Learning Agreement: The Learning Agreement sets out the program of study or internship to be followed abroad. It is a list of the courses you will take at your host university, signed by you, your UGA advisor, and the advisor at your host university.

Move On: Move On is a platform used by UGA and other European universities to manage mobility programs. You will submit your application on this platform, accept your mobility program, and, if you are going to Europe, fill out your online learning agreement (OLA).

Nomination: Before you can go on exchange, we must notify the university we have selected for you so that they can send you the application procedure. The nomination procedure is carried out by the DGD-DIT and our UFR's RI in accordance with the agreements. For agreements outside Europe, these nominations take place early in the year after selection, starting in January. For departmental agreements, this takes place later, between February, March, and April, depending on the host universities.

OLA: Online Learning Agreement. This only applies to students going on Erasmus. The learning agreement must be completed online on Move On.

Tassep: The Transatlantic Student Exchange Program in Science is a network program bringing together universities in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

TOEFL: Test of English as a Foreign Language. This is a paid language test, so be sure to check which test universities require.

Transcript: Transcripts.

Partner university: Partner universities are universities with which UGA or the department has an agreement that allows for student exchanges for study abroad programs.
