International exchanges and double diplomas with several partners: Experience feedbacks in Grenoble with a bachelor in wireless networks and security

Abstract

An "internationalized" bachelor (actually last year of a bachelor course) has been launched in September 2007 in Grenoble. From this time, around 15 students from all around the world spent each year a complete academic year in Grenoble, in a multicultural environment, in order to pass a French "licence professionnelle" (Professional Bachelor) taught in English in the field of wireless networks and security. Under some circonstances, some of the students get the possibility to obtain the French diploma. The adaptation of the curriculum content, the multicultural environment for the academic project as well as for social activities, and the international recruitment process are important aspects to deal with, and will be explained in the paper.
