La charte ECHE (European Charter for Higher Education) a été obtenue.
Elle va permettre au CUCDB d’obtenir des financements de mobilité, offrant aux étudiants de licence l’opportunité de partir étudier un semestre à l’étranger.
By studying abroad with Erasmus+, you can improve your communication, language and inter-cultural skills and gain soft skills highly valued by future employers.
Access to Erasmus+ Online Linguistic Support will help you learn the language used for your studies if you are moving between Programme countries.
Students with physical, mental or health-related conditions may apply for additional funding after they have been selected to study abroad.
To study abroad with Erasmus+, you must be registered in a higher education institution and enrolled in studies leading to a recognized degree or tertiary-level qualification. For students in the first cycle (Bachelor or equivalent), you need to be at least in the second year of your studies.
Your period of study abroad must be relevant for your degree-related learning and personal development needs, and be part of the study programme that you are following.
Your home institution and the receiving institution must have an inter-institutional agreement between them for you to study there with Erasmus+.
Both institutions must also hold the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (if they are in Programme countries). Institutions from Partner countries commit to the principles of the Charter when signing the inter-institutional agreements.
In French universities, academic training is organized into three cycles:
Bachelor’s degree (3 years)
Master’s degree (2 years)
Doctorate
At the CUCDB, Erasmus + exchanges are currently offered in the third year (last term) of the Humanities degree. The academic year runs from mid-September to the end of June.
For regular students, who are following a full year or a cycle, there is no start to the academic year other than in September. Exchange students begin their stay in February.
The main language of instruction is French. However, the last semester of the Humanities degree offers several courses in English : International Current Affairs and Professional English.
Foreign students may, if they wish, take French courses alongside their course at the CUCDB.
You may receive an Erasmus+ grant as a contribution to your travel and subsistence costs. This may vary according to differences in living costs between your country and the destination country, the number of students applying for a grant, the distance between countries and the availability of other grants.
As an Erasmus+ student, you are exempted from fees for tuition, registration, examinations, and charges for access to laboratories or libraries at the receiving institution. Small fees for insurance or student union membership may still apply.
You can apply through the international or Erasmus+ office of your higher education institution.
You should be selected by your sending higher education institution in a fair and transparent way.
As an international student, you must complete an online application form on the Enrolment Services website.
Please note that the application for admission must be submitted by a specific deadline. Online admission generally opens in ………

The academic year is divided into two terms. The first begins mid-September and ends mid-December and is followed by an exam period in the first three weeks of January. The second term begins at the start of February and ends mid-April. It is followed by a two-month training period.

The cost of living in France corresponds to the European average. You should budget approximately €800 per month to cover housing (average room rental in Dijon is €280/month, €450 for a T1), food, transport, medical care and entertainment.
Sure! If you’re an ‘Erasmus+’ exchange student, you can even get a head start on improving your French before your programme begins, by taking online classes on the OLS platform.
As most of the courses at the CUCDB are taught in French, we are offering our incoming students the opportunity to take FLE (Français Langue Etrangère) courses alongside those in semester 6 of the bachelor’s degree. These courses will take place at the CUCDB (integrated into the timetable) and will be taught by external lecturers specialising in teaching French as a foreign language.

In France, all students must have health insurance.
If you are a national of a European Union country or of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, consider requesting your European Health Insurance Card, provided free of charge and allowing you to access the same health care available to French people. More information here : European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) | Service-public.fr. Upon arrival in France students may join a mutual insurance company (€100-120/year).
In principle, your home university should continue to insure you against accidents and civil liability during academic activities. Please contact your university to learn about the terms of its insurance policies.
If it does not provide insurance for you, as a registered CUCDB student you receive ‘accident’ coverage (including during transport between your housing and the university, study trips, internships) and ‘civil liability’ coverage for academic activities.
Please be advised ! There is no ‘accident assistance’ component for accidents that take place in France (e.g. repatriation to your home country in case of accident).
No. Students of many religions attend CUCDB, and no religious involvement is required.
