Avignon University welcomes many foreign students every year, through international exchange agreements, French courses offered by the Language Service (SDL), or on an individual basis. In addition, most of Avignon University's programmes offer their students the opportunity to study abroad as part of exchange programmes or to undertake internships abroad (financial aid is managed by the International Relations Department – SRI).
