Incoming exchange students at ISCOM France
If you are interested in coming to ISCOM as an exchange student, make sure that your institution has a partnership with us. If it is the case then your home institution has to nominate you first. Contact the International Coordinator/Erasmus Coordinator at your home institution who will be able to advise you further. They will provide you with the internal application process.
Incoming students have the possibility of choosing which ISCOM campus in France to study at. The Paris, Lille, Lyon and Nice campuses can accept incoming students into programmes in English and in French. And the Bordeaux, Montpellier, Rennes, Rouen, Strasbourg and Toulouse campuses can welcome students into the programmes in French only.
Nomination
We use SoleMOVE online platform for nominations and applications for incoming exchange students. Nomination can only be done by the international office of the student’s home institution. If the partner institution does not have or has forgotten the login information, it can be requested on international@iscom.fr. If your home institution is not ISCOM’s partner yet, the international office can contact us.
For the nomination process the following student's information is needed:

Nomination deadlines for incoming exchange students:

Please note that a nomination by the home institution does not mean an automatic acceptance by ISCOM!

Study Plan
The Study Plan is part of the online application form, it is a choice of programme, campus and study year that the student wishes to take during a semester at ISCOM. Please note that students must choose courses from one programme only. It is not possible to pick-and-choose from different programmes or study years.
For more information about the 2024-2025 course offer click on the red buttons below :
Students should receive their home institution's validation of the chosen ISCOM study year, programme and associated courses before submitting the online application. The study plan will also be reviewed by ISCOM’s academic team. Once the student’s study plan is validated their Learning Agreement can be created. Have a look on the table below to know which programme is offered when and on which campus :
Learning Agreement for Erasmus+ Programme exchange students
The Learning Agreement is an official document that will need to be filled out by the student with the course choices (listed one by one) for their semester at ISCOM. When the Learning Agreement is complete, the student will need to add their signature first, then have their home institution’s international coordinator sign it and finally the ISCOM international coordinator can sign the document.
Please note that the Learning Agreement can only be created after the student has been officially accepted at ISCOM = has received the Letter of Acceptance.
ISCOM currently uses the SoleMOVE online platform to sign Learning Agreements. Students need to prepare the Online Learning Agreement (OLA) according to their home institution’s guidelines. If the student’s home institution is not using OLA or any other platform to complete the Learning agreement, the student will need to fill out a Learning Agreement as a Word or a PDF document and send it to international@iscom.fr.
