Partners: University of Strasbourg

Prearrival services and Integration

A special attention will be paid to facilitate the administrative formalities for all students. They will find useful advices on the Mundus website and will benefit from the advices of the program manager and local mentors that will help them to smoothly handle these tasks before and after arriving in Strasbourg. Staff from the Strasbourg registration office is already familiar with these administrative procedures.

Language Courses

In order to get acquainted with the French culture and language, students will benefit from basic French courses that will take place during their semester. If students want to learn more French as a foreign language, they will have free access to independent learning at the SPIRALE language institut.

Housing

In Strasbourg, the accommodations for international students are coordinated by the international office of the University. Students benefit from comfortable studios at reasonable prices, like the ones which will be available in the International Welcome Centre. Considering the limited number of places available, students are strongly recommended to start applying for student residencies as soon as possible. The programme coordinator is unable to supervise this process, it is therefore the student’s responsibility to search and to contact the Project Manager for advice. Students are also advised to participate in meetings organized by the International Office on topics related to housing and visa. Such meetings may also take place on a yearly basis within the consortium of partner universities of the projet, with newly selected students.

Information is constantly made available in the Welcome e-desk of the International Relations Office: more information here.

Access to culture and sport

At the University of Strasbourg, students will have access to university canteens, university libraries, the Digital Work Environment and all student services via “Alsace Campus Pass” (student card). Students will be able to get a Culture Card that will enable them to obtain preferential rates at shows, movie theatres and museums throughout the Alsace region. They will be also able to enjoy a variety of sport activities proposed by the Sport service. Over 60 university buildings benefit from wireless coverage. The Digital Work Environment’s virtual portal provides members of the university community with numerous services: e-mail, news, exam results, schedule and a virtual library among others. Thanks to EUCOR network (European Confederation of the Superior Rhine Region) the Strasbourg university community also has access to the libraries of 5 partner universities (Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Basel and Mulhouse). Books can be checked out with the presentation of the Alsace Campus Pass.
