A diverse academic offer
This year’s edition features 17 courses delivered by the faculties and schools of the federation, spanning five key areas: Arts and Society, French Language and Culture, Humanism and the European Union, Innovation and Management, and Sustainable Development.
In partnership with JUNIA and Learn International, courses in Physics and Materials Science have also been offered since 2022 to engineering students from the University of Florida. This track has since attracted interest from other partner universities: students from Texas A&M University joined it for the first time this year.
A new satellite program: the LiDD Design Summer Camp
As part of the University’s international strategy to strengthen federation-wide collaboration, this year sees the launch of a new initiative: satellite program co-developed between the International Relations Office and institutions within the federation. The first is led by LiDD School of Design. Over four weeks, from 23 June to 22 July, six students will explore the industrial, design and textile heritage of Lille and the Hauts-de-France region through a designer’s lens, working across graphic arts, spatial design, digital media and tangible objects.
Cultural exploration: at the heart of the experience
The program offers a rich range of guided excursions: Bruges, Brussels, Reims, Normandy, and the memorial sites of the World Wars – which this year received the regional label “Hauts-de-France & United States: 250 Years of Ties“. Students also explore Lille and its surroundings through a guided city tour, group meals and academic visits.
A highlight of each session, the International Night transforms the campus into a true “Cultural World Cup”, where students take each other on a journey around the world through traditional food, music, dance and performances.
