CADRE

Pourquoi avoir choisi de partir en université partenaire ? Et pourquoi cet établissement en particulier ?

Partir en université partenaire était obligatoire dans mon programme. Je suis partie deux fois en échange, à Galway en Irlande et à Bruxelles. J’ai choisi Bruxelles pour le niveau de l’école et parce que c’est assez facile pour rentrer à Marseille.

Quels sont les documents pour partir dans cette université et les procédures à suivre ?

Je ne me souviens pas avoir dû remplir des tonnes de documents pour Bruxelles, seulement les « learning agreements » et peut-être d’autres documents à signer mais rien de bien difficile (la carte européenne d’assurance maladie par exemple).

BUDGET

Quel est le budget pour le voyage ?

Pour partir à Bruxelles, j’ai payé 110€ de train.

Quel est le budget approximatif par mois ? (Logement, nourriture, sorties, etc.) Comment juges-tu le coût de la vie en comparaison avec la France ?

Bruxelles est d’après moi plus chère, au niveau des courses principalement.

UNIVERSITE

L’université t’aide-t-elle à t’installer ? (Aide au logement, pôle accueil …)

Je ne saurais pas dire je n’ai pas eu besoin de l’université pour trouver un logement.
 

Quelles sont les spécificités/spécialités de ton université ?

Business Administration, les cours sont aussi similaires à ceux de Kedge.

​

Y-a-t-il une différence au niveau des méthodes d’enseignement par rapport à KEDGE Busines School ? (Charge de travail, heures de cours, etc.)

L'école est de très haut niveau donc la charge de travail est beaucoup plus lourde.

GUIDE PRATIQUE

L’université est-elle loin du centre-ville ?

L’université est toute proche du centre-ville.

Quels sont les moyens de transport généralement utilisés par les étudiants pour se déplacer dans la ville et aller à l’établissement ? Quel transport utilises-tu ?

Les étudiants utilisent principalement le vélo, le bus ou se déplacent à pied. Aucun étudiant que j’ai rencontré avait une voiture.

CULTURE

Qu’est-ce qui t’as le plus marqué lors de ton arrivée sur place ? (Habitudes, culture, etc.)

La gentillesse des gens !!

Comment s’est déroulée ton intégration au sein de l’université ?

Il y avait beaucoup d’autres étudiants Erasmus donc un grand groupe de plein de nationalités différentes s’est très vite développé. C’est un super campus !

Qu’est-ce qui t’as le plus manqué, que tu ne retrouves pas là-bas ?

LE SOLEIL !!
