An international dimension

The master’s degree in oncology was labeled by PRES (University of Lyon – Saint Etienne) in spring 2013, and will continue to develop an international exchange program that allows many foreign students to come and do an internship at the CRCL or, for French students, to be hosted in a laboratory of a partner university.

Since 2013, 120 Master students, M1 and M2 combined, have been able to complete an internship abroad (Harvard, Stanford, Tokyo, Shanghai, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, etc.).

In order to promote these exchanges, existing agreements with the universities of Tokyo, Shanghai, Ottawa, Sherbrooke and Montreal.
