The Impact of International students mobility on French students' lives

Abstract

Nowadays, university exchanges represent an important step in the academic curriculum of more and more students in France. The different business schools, engineering schools and universities try year after year to open their programmes to the international scene by encouraging their students to discover the educational models of other countries. Being part of a business school programme requiring a one-year exchange in a partner university, I easily understood the impact that these experiences had on me and understood that it was necessary to study its impact on the French student world. The objective of this study was there- fore to understand the benefits and drawbacks of these international mobilities on French students. This objective was achieved through a survey, a questionnaire aimed at French students who had experienced a university exchange during their studies. This questionnaire aimed to understand the feelings and opinions of these French students and consisted of 42 questions.
