Exchange students
Our incoming exchange students enrich even further the multicultural environment found within the SKEMA classroom.
The SKEMA international office is delighted to welcome nearly 450 international exchange students every academic year to study with us on our campuses in France, USA, Brazil, and China.
How can I become an incoming exchange student at SKEMA?
In order to study at SKEMA as an incoming exchange student, there will need to be a bilateral exchange agreement in place between SKEMA Business School and your home university.
We are commited to accept students from our partner institutions. Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications from free mover students.
To learn more about the application requirements for SKEMA Business School for exchange students, please read carefully the 2024 Fact Sheet available here.
Once you are nominated by your home university to do an exchange with us, you will be invited to complete an admission application for SKEMA. Once your admission application has been validated by SKEMA International Office, you will receive your official acceptance letter in order to study with SKEMA on exchange for either one or two academic semesters.
Application deadlines:
- Fall semester (September to December): mid-May
- Spring semester (January to April ): early October
Application online: a link will be sent to the nominated student's personal email address
Every academic year, the SKEMA International Office publishes detailed practical information for each SKEMA campus through detailed pre-orientation modules called SKEMA Compass. In these online modules, you will learn everything you need to know about SKEMA Business School: student services, campus life, city life, and extensive pre-arrival information such as visa, housing, insurance, banking, and much more.
