International mobility
The HES-SO Valais-Wallis has its own international relations office: the International Office. Each year, with the help of the International Office team, around 150 Valais-based students head off abroad supported by a grant, while 40 students from all over the world come to take one of the degree courses and/or undertake internships at our research institutes.
EDHEA has also established partnerships with several foreign institutions, offering students the chance to study abroad for a semester. These institutions are based in Europe (Germany, Belgium, France, Iceland, Irland, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Romania, Spain) and in Canada (mobility through the Quebec Student Exchange Program.

Study mobility for European students
Switzerland currently holds ‘Partner Country’ status in the activities of the EU education programme Erasmus+ (2021-2027). The Swiss-European Mobility Programme (SEMP) offers similar conditions to Erasmus+, including the possibility to apply for a grant as long as an agreement exists between EDHEA and the institution of provenance.
Study mobility for non-European students
International mobility allows students from countries outside Europe to come and study at EDHEA. They have the possibility of obtaining a scholarship as long as an agreement exists between EDHEA and the institution of provenance.
