Being an engineer also means leading international projects and working in a multicultural environment. Arts et Métiers all students the opportunity to gain this experience during their studies. Mobility, ranging from two months to two years, takes the form of an internship or academic exchange.

More than 170 foreign institutions and universities around the world have signed agreements with Arts et Métiers. Two types of stays are available.

Dual degree study abroad programs

The length of the stay varies, depending on the university programs, from two to four semesters. Most courses involve extending the initial length of study (by one to two semesters). This experience allows engineering students to receive, at the end of their training, the Arts et Métiers diploma Arts et Métiers the diploma corresponding to the studies completed at the host university.

There are three dual-degree programs available: integrated dual engineering degree programs, Master of Science programs, and dual Master's programs.
