International mobility

mobilite-internationale.png

International mobility is an opportunity for engineering students to immerse themselves in another culture, to adopt another way of life and thus add an international dimension to their training. It is also an excellent opportunity to work in multicultural teams, and undoubtedly an essential preparation for the engineering profession, which increasingly requires contact with foreign countries.

To obtain its engineering diploma, Polytech Marseille requires a minimum of 12 weeks' international mobility. The school offers several possibilities to students who wish to internationalize their profile during their engineering studies. Many students also take advantage of this opportunity to improve their English language skills.
