University of Lorraine

The Université de Lorraine is a multidisciplinary university in the cross-border Lorraine region of France, with its presidency in both Metz and Nancy and campuses throughout the region. It has around 60,000 students, including about 10,000 international students from 160 nationalities, and the university states that it is the leading French university for Erasmus outgoing mobility. It is placed in the 201-300 band of the Shanghai Ranking and is a member of the EURECA-PRO European university alliance.

Programmes cover every field, from undergraduate and postgraduate degrees to PhDs and lifelong learning. International options include:

• Erasmus Mundus joint master's programmes, such as EMLex in lexicography and DENSYS in decentralised energy systems
• Short programmes and summer schools
• Exchanges under some 1,400 Erasmus+ agreements and 500 other international partnerships
• Student entrepreneurship training through the PeeL centre

Students from outside the EU usually apply through the Études en France platform (Campus France), and others through eCandidat from March each year; tuition fees for non-EU students differ from the standard fees. Halls of residence are run by CROUS, and the university helps international students find housing, including through its Studapart platform.
