The EPFL offers exchange opportunities to 3rd year Bachelor and 1st year Master students according to their Programme, or to complete their Master project in another university. An exchange year must not extend the study duration, which is why a study plan should be established in agreement with your Programme's exchange coordinator so as to guarantee academic recognition acknowledgment upon your return.

A  borchure called "Vous avez dit Mobilité" is updated annually and has details of all the possibilities available.
