TIPS

Practical Tips for Studying Abroad with ESCE

Choosing the right destination: Before you leave, take the time to carefully select your destination based on your academic, professional, and personal goals. ESCE has a wide range of partner institutions around the world, so consider the opportunities for internships, cultural experiences, and professional networking that each country has to offer.
Start preparing early: Planning your study abroad experience takes time. Contact ESCE’s International Office as soon as possible to find out about the administrative requirements (visas, housing, insurance) and application deadlines.
Make the most of language opportunities: Studying abroad is a unique opportunity to improve your language skills. Don’t hesitate to immerse yourself in the local language and take additional classes if needed. This will help you better integrate into the country’s daily and professional life.
Find out about financial aid: ESCE can help you find funding options for your study abroad program. Be sure to check out available scholarships, such as the Erasmus+ scholarship, which can help cover part of your tuition and housing costs.
Finding the Right Housing: Finding a place to live can be a challenge, especially in high-demand cities. Take advantage of ESCE’s housing platform to search for an apartment, a shared apartment, or a dorm room before you leave. Many partner campuses also offer student-friendly housing options.
Preparing for the Intercultural Experience: Studying abroad will allow you to thrive in a multicultural environment. Be prepared to understand cultural differences and adapt the way you work and communicate. This will enrich not only your academic journey but also your personal growth.
Networking and building professional connections: Take advantage of your stay to expand your international professional network. Attend events organized by partner universities, and don’t hesitate to get involved in student organizations, projects, or internships.
Maintain good communication with ESCE: During your stay abroad, stay in touch with ESCE’s International Office for any administrative, academic, or logistical questions. You can also seek support from students who have previously studied abroad to benefit from their practical advice.
Plan for a smooth transition back: Before you leave, find out about the procedures for reintegrating into your studies upon your return—such as the validity of your credits and course equivalencies. This will allow you to prepare for the new semester with peace of mind and successfully incorporate your study abroad experience into your academic journey.
