Université Sorbonne Paris Nord
Paris 13 University is located in Paris North and has around 24,000 students on 5 different campuses. For years, HVL has collaborated with the Villetaneuse Technical Institute in the field of computer technology.
Paris is widely known as the city with sights such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Sacré Coeur. It is the pulsating metropolis of France. A high-speed train will quickly bring you to the great Champagne houses and several of the French beaches. A weekend in the Alps is also an option.
Paris itself can be enjoyed on foot along the River Seine, at a café in the Latin Quarter, or in one of the many parks or multicultural areas the city has to offer.
Languages
Most of the ordinary courses are taught in French, and the language requirement for exchange students is a B1 level in French. If you are working on a thesis, the requirement is a B2 level in English.
Everyone participating in an Erasmus+ exchange programme must take a free online language test online before they travel, and they will be given access to a language course through this service. The Division of Research, Internationalisation and Innovation (AFII) will inform you of this test in advance.
If you can document that part of the study takes place in french, you may receive a grant from the State Educational Loan Fund, Norway for a 4-week language course to be taken in France prior to the start of the semester.
Fee
You will not be paying tuition at this institution and will receive the Erasmus+ grant in addition to a grant from the State Educational Loan Fund, Norway. You will receive the same financial support from the State Educational Loan Fund, Norway as for studies in Norway, in addition to a travel grant. You must pay a semester fee to HVL in order to receive a loan and grant from the State Educational Loan Fund, Norway during the exchange period.
Course approval
In order to apply for a student exchange programme, your application must first be approved by the study programme of your faculty. An approved application means that you have been given an academic pre-approval for the course or traineeship you will be doing abroad. The academic pre-approval specifies what you will be doing while you are on an exchange programme and confirms these activities will be fully approved as part of your education plan at HVL.
What can I study?
Bachelor's programme in Computing
If you are fluent in French, it is possible to do an exchange programme to this institution in the 5th and 6th semesters. If you must study in English, you may do an exchange programme here in the 6th semester and take classes and do your main project.
If you choose to do the exchange programme in the 6th semester, please note that it may take longer than usual to obtain your transcripts from HVL. This is because the partner institution may in some cases have a longer processing time for grading. If you wish to apply for master’s level studies at other institutions in Norway, you should do your exchange programme earlier in your studies. Contact the academic contact person for more information.
