Going abroad

Arrangements offered

The requirement for a stay abroad in the Graduate Programs requires 1st year students to think about the various choices they are offered so as not to have a restricted choice in the last year.


The substitution year:

This possibility is offered for the 3rd year. Students make their choice from among the 149 possible agreements with the 67 partner institutions that dispense Graduate Programs.

Average duration for the stay is 6 months to 1 year.

Special feature: the Final Project Thesis can be conducted in France or outside it.


The double degree:

In the 3rd year, students can opt for a stay in a non-French university to obtain a double degree. The Graduate Programs is thus lengthened by a period of 6 months to one year. The stay may extend to two years.

Students obtain the degree from the two colleges or universities where they followed their program.

Obtaining a double degree allows you to:

  • profit by your stay abroad with a professional outcome in mind in another host country or with an transnational business entity (EADS for example),
  • guarantee the level of international training to an employer.

More than thirty European universities allow for this option.


Placement training:

More than a hundred students do their internship abroad each year.

There are many internships available to Graduate Programs, specialized masters or Masters of Science students thanks to ISAE contacts with firms, universities and research laboratories in Europe, America and Asia.

The Institute co-operates with the various organisations responsible for helping to find and run internship schemes in companies (IAESTE, France Québec, Franco-American Chamber of Commerce, etc.) and takes part in international programs offering internships abroad (VULCANUS programs in Japan, FACE, LEONARDO, CDEFI internship programs in Italy, summer program in Taiwan, etc.).

Close relations between the ISAE and major French and other firms allow the number of internships to be increased regularly.
