The University of Tours has a long history of sending and receiving students through the Erasmus framework. These datasets provide an overview of the incoming and outgoing students for the academic year 2023-2024 through the Erasmus+ mobility programs.
In the Outgoing Students dataset, most of the 418 students do their mobility during their bachelor (277 students in 2023-24), but a significant number do it in Master (140 in 2023-24), and 1 student is in PhD. The three most popular nations for students are Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, with respectively 87, 56 and 37 outgoing students.
Programs with mandatory mobility are obviously well-represented, but Law also appears among the top three programs : Applied foreign languages is the first with 98 students, Planning and environmental engineering ranks second with 44 students and Law is third with 35 students. With students from 39 fields of study, most academic departments at the University of Tours offer a mobility opportunity to their students.
In the Incoming Students dataset, the majority of the 97 students come from Italy (27), Germany (19) and the United Kingdom (17). 39% of the students register in Applied foreign languages but they are also able to take courses in different fields. The student mobility takes place mainly during the bachelor, with 70 students compared to 27 in Master.
The Erasmus programs are promoted largely at the university, information meetings are organised regularly for the students while the international office communicates with partner universities to advertise about Tours and the courses offered at the university.
