Lyon was the perfect base for exploring Europe and France, but even more so, it became a place of friendships and memories. I’ll always feel a deep connection to the city and to Jean Moulin 3. - SELF Program Testimonial - Andrea
Andrea, 22, Leon (Mexico) - Spring Semester 2025
Being in the SELF program was an amazing experience ! I wanted to study somewhere where I could meet people from all over the world, practice my English while getting to learn another language and get to experience a real multicultural environment, and it was exactly that. Courses where very interesting, teachers were so nice and also student life in Lyon has been great.

Badger Ewins, 21, London (UK) Annual Student
Studying on the SELF programme was a fantastic way to spend my year abroad in France; it allowed me to broaden what I study, explore France, and massively improve my language skills.

The timings of semesters and the amazing transport connections Lyon has allow for lots of opportunities to travel around... - SELF Program Testimonial - Emma

An exchange is not only about studying, it's also about discovering a new place and a new way of... - SELF Program Testimonial - Hyewon
Hyewon, 22, Busan (South Korea) - Spring Semester
I had the incredible opportunity to study at Lyon 3 for the spring semester of 2025, and now that I'm back home, it truly feels like a dream to me. Lyon 3's SELF program was a perfect fit for me. It allowed me to study in France while studying in English. Although I have been learning French for a little over a year, I would not have been able to fully grasp the course content without the option to study in English through SELF. As a biomedical student studying at The University of Hong Kong,...
