Where you'll study

The University of Bordeaux has a culture of nurturing talent, innovation, and career outcomes. As UCEAP’s original student exchange since 1962, the University of Bordeaux has continued to refine its international strategy. It collaborates with universities around the world to develop programs taught in English and other languages. As one of only three universities in France with an Initiative of Excellence, or IdEx program, the university is driving a variety of globally important research challenges and projects.
