The Magistère is a resolutely international program, featuring small-group language classes, an increasing share of courses taught in English throughout the curriculum, and a mandatory semester of study abroad at the beginning of the second year.
Starting from the very first semester, English courses are designed to strengthen students’ language skills in preparation for their international mobility applications.
Mobility Programs
Mobility programs are organized into three sections:
The “California” Program: Allows students to spend a semester at one of our partner universities in California (Berkeley, San Diego, UC Davis…). This track is highly selective and requires an excellent level of English (C1 level).
Bilateral Exchange Programs: Partnerships with universities located outside the European Union (The Americas, Asia…).
The Erasmus+ Program: Allows students to study in a European Union member country.
Thanks to the University of Bordeaux’s bilateral and Erasmus+ partnerships, a vast number of destinations are available, as shown below. You can explore these destinations using the search engine (simply enter “Economics” in the discipline field to view and zoom into the map).
Student Testimonials
Life at the Magistère is shaped by a variety of academic and social events, fostering strong bonds within each cohort and providing a gateway to the professional world.
Hi! How are you doing? I’m thrilled to introduce you to Florida State University (FSU)! If, like me, you’ve always dreamed of studying at an American university, I can't recommend this one enough.
The campus is massive and stunning, with incredible facilities available to all students: a cinema, gym, swimming pool, bowling alley, and even a spa. I truly enjoyed the courses I took—'Economics of State and Local Government' was particularly fascinating. The professors are dynamic and very approachable.
Campus life is incredibly active. American football games really set the pace for the semester! Also, if you turn 21 while at FSU, tradition dictates you'll probably be thrown into the fountain at midnight!
Tallahassee’s location is perfect for exploring: I had the chance to visit Universal Studios, New Orleans, New York, and Atlanta, among others. I’m saving the end of my trip to see the rest of Florida, including Miami!
Finally, a major perk... the weather. Let’s be honest, studying under the sun and palm trees is pretty great.
I hope this makes you want to live the American dream for a semester! 😉

Hello everyone! We are delighted to share our experience at Yonsei University in Seoul!
Yonsei is part of the 'SKY' universities—the three most prestigious institutions in the country. The campus is absolutely incredible, both massive and modern. The courses are fascinating, with an educational system that truly lives up to its reputation. However, don't worry—the schedule leaves plenty of time to enjoy the country.
The university is located right in the heart of the capital, close to the liveliest districts (like Hongdae and Itaewon). Nightlife is a huge part of Korean culture, especially in Hongdae. Plus, most clubs are free. Most importantly, the country is extremely safe, boasting one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
Korea is also about the food, the shopping, the culture, and the landscapes. The food is incredible and very affordable, and the shopping is the same. But what we loved most was how easy it is to meet people and build friendships, whether with other international students or locals. The people here are amazing. In short, we highly recommend Korea!

Hei siellä! Tervetuloa Suomeen!Hei siellä! Tervetuloa Suomeen!
I am so happy to tell you about my semester in Tampere. Often called the 'Manchester of Finland' due to its iconic red-brick buildings, it is a charming, medium-sized city with a huge student population! To truly fit in and look like a local student, I suggest getting the famous 'Overall'—a jumpsuit in the colors of your field of study, where you can sew patches earned during various student events 😊
Tampere University is brand new and offers a fantastic study environment. But make no mistake: Finns place great importance on leisure, especially sports. Tampere is home to two major ice hockey teams, Ilves and Tappara—I highly recommend going to see a match!
In Finnish Lapland, you can enjoy breathtaking snowy landscapes, go dog sledding, or try the traditional sauna followed by a dip in a frozen lake. And for the lucky ones, you might even see the famous Northern Lights!
Now that I’ve shared the highlights, let’s talk about the 'Kaamos' (the polar night in Finnish). It’s a mysterious period in Lapland where the sun barely rises, and there is very little light. It’s a unique feeling, with only about 3 hours of daylight per day. I strongly advise you to stock up on Vitamin D!
Don't hesitate if you have any questions

Salute tutti !
Firenze, beautiful Florence. A magnificent city steeped in history.
From the Medici to world-renowned painters, Florence offers a wealth of artistic, historical, and culinary culture. Prepare to be amazed by so many beautiful and delicious things. Countless museums await you (this is, after all, the city that brought together Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, to name but a few).
You will also discover a massive campus, complete with cafés and shops. You’ll have the opportunity to try out all the courses until the end of October and change your learning agreement once.
Erasmus is also about the social life! The University of Florence has dozens of student associations dedicated to looking after us. From trips to parties, there is something for everyone! Traveling also means discovering Tuscany and its stunning towns: Siena, Pisa, Mugello, Chianti...
We also recommend going to see a Fiorentina match; the Italian passion for football is something you absolutely have to experience.
What we gained from this Erasmus in Florence: better English (!), lifelong friendships, incredible trips, a satisfied appetite, and at least three words of Italian!
So, Ciao e buona fortuna !
