Devinci Higher Education is a state-recognized, private higher education institution founded in 1995. It is made up of three schools that award accredited degrees: EMLV (Business School), ESILV (Engineering School) and IIM (School of Digital Communication & Multimedia).
A note on names: Devinci Higher Education, Léonard de Vinci group and Pôle Léonard de Vinci are used interchangeably to refer to the collective institution as composed of its three schools: EMLV, ESILV, and IIM.
De Vinci Higher Education encourages international openness and has developed numerous partnerships with foreign universities. The development of these partnerships has resulted in thousands of academic exchanges that have allowed French students to study in partner universities and foreign students to study at Pôle Léonard de Vinci schools.

Devinci Higher Education accepts only nominated students from partner institutions. If you are interested in coming for an exchange at Devinci Higher Education, please contact your home institution.
The selection process can be divided into different steps: nomination by your home institution, online registration and acceptance at Léonard de Vinci. Once accepted at Léonard de Vinci, you will receive an official acceptance letter, and later on login details to allow you to access the intranet.
We have two selection processes every academic year, one for the fall semester (first semester, August-December) and one for the spring semester (second semester, January-May). The specific deadline for nomination and registration will be communicated at the start of every academic year.

French or English: The language of instruction for each school and year is specified in the Exchange programmes page.
All exchange students will, as part of their program, follow French classes adapted to their level, even if you are complete beginner! This level will be determined via a non-graded test at the beginning of the exchange.
Devinci Higher Education does not provide its own accommodation, but has an own online platform called Studapart Devinci which concentrates safe and trustworthy adds for accommodation provided by private landlords. Around 60% of all our international students find their accommodation through Studapart Devinci.
