International policy

A coherent and structured international policy

UPEC’s commitment to international activities goes along with diversifying its academic offer, especially at the Bachelor and Master levels, as well as increasing the mobility of its students, faculty and staff and supporting research cooperation opportunities.

A strong network of international partnerships in Europe and beyond

Boasting about 450 international partners, UPEC endeavors to make knowledge and experience sharing easier by generating full-fledged academic programs and scientific cooperation on all continents.

Courses and trainings are well suited to the European market, as shown by UPEC’s active participation in the Erasmus+ program. The university also cultivates its historical ties with Latin America and is committed to strengthening its partnerships in North America, South-East Asia, French-speaking Africa and South Africa.
