IPSA actively encourages student exchange and international partnerships. An exchange agreement has existed between IPSA and the University Laval in Canada since 2003, and from 2011 a semester abroad will be compulsory for all third year students. Internships abroad are also encouraged from the first year.

Since 2007 more than 40 students have participated in Double Diploma Programmes with The Shenyang Institute of Aeronautical Engineering in China, the University of Cranfield in the United Kingdom and the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan.

This year new agreements have been signed with two renown Institutes in Russie, the MIPT ‘Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology’ and the MAI ‘Moscow Aviation Institute’. In addition to student exchange programmes, groups of students may spend one semester studying courses in English at these instiutions and similar programmes are in development with the University of California San Diego, USA, and the Kumagaru College of Technology in India.

ERASMUS students who wish to study at IPSA should contact the International Office at IPSA or their home University for the Erasmus Incoming Student Application Form, ECTS learning Agreement and Transcript of Records. These documents should be sent to the IPSA International Department by the end of June.
