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.
