Law studies in a central French city
Séverine G
Spain, Graduate
Law, International, 2018
Overall
I spent my 5 years of studies in the city of Lyon.
Lyon III is one of the three universities proposing a law degree. I chose this one because its known for its seriousness and the professors have a great reputation.
The professors are excellent, there is a lot of different courses but each one have professors recognized for their studies and the quality of their work. I would just say that they are not really present for any help and you need to be really autonomous.
The buildings are fantastic; there is two different sites (one for the first cycle degree, the other for the second). The buildings are in Haussmann style and they just look splendid. The construction are renovated and the classes are well made. There is access to many libraries, computers and a lot of academic resources. There is also a really good student life and a lot help from other students for foreign students.
It is not so easy to make good friends; there is a lot of competition and the school generally lack of support and solidarity.
The administration is awful and won't help in any way; the secretariat never have any answer for your questions and it absolutely doesn't bother them.
I chose to graduate in the international and environmental fields. I found my 4th and 5th years to be the most interesting of my university course, but also the most challenging.
The city is great, not cheap but affordable, even for students with low income. The landscapes are amazing; it's really close to the mountains. Paris is only at a 2 1/2 hours trip by train.
There is a lot to do in the city and you won't spend a day without a new discovery !

Overall
I wish I had known...
Strathclyde University prepared students pretty well before going abroad, especially regarding the country of destination. I wish I had had more information on courses. At the end of the year everybody has to do a report on the city and university they go to in order to help subsequent students in settling in better. The report of the people that went to Lyon III the year before me was very useful and I hope that mine was very useful too to other students going the following year.

Personal recommendation
I would recommend this university as I would any other university. At the end of it, is what you make out of it that counts. I would say that there could be more friendly and approachable universities than this one.

Final comments
When you go to France you must take out with you several documents as they will definetely come in useful, whether you have to open a bank account or apply for financial help towards your rent. You have to realise that you will come across some bureacracy that you are not used to in UK. Going to another country can be difficult for some people, especially if it is the first time you live abroad and the culture is quite different from yours. However, if you are patient and realise that it can take some time to adapt and you are aware that customs and lifestyles are different everywhere in the world, you will have an excellent time. One last piece of advice, which I think is the most important, do mix with local people or at least try to stay with other international students with whom you do not speak your native language. Everywhere I have been I have seen this happening: Italians mix with Italians, French mix with French and so on. I know it is easier to mix with people from the same culture and background as yours but it is a real shame to waste your year like this. You will regret it when it comes to speak that foreign language, or when you travel around the world and do not have a friend to go to. Just make the most of this experience. It has been the best in my entire life.

Master 1 et 2 Commerce International mention L.E.A, très professionnalisant
Aurélien P
France, Graduate
Marketing and Sales Management, 2018
Overall
Le 1er semestre de ce Master se déroule à Lyon et le second semestre doit obligatoirement s'effectuer dans une université à l'étranger (à l'université de Manchester en Angleterre pour moi). Il se poursuit obligatoirement avec un stage en entreprise de 2 mois à l'étranger également (à Pise en Italie pour ma part). 
Le 3ème semestre (Master 2) se déroule à Lyon, et le 4ème doit s'effectuer à nouveau à l'étranger, pour un stage en entreprise de 6 mois, donnant lieu à la rédaction et à la soutenance d'un mémoire en 3 langues (Français, Anglais et Italien pour moi).
Les cours sont très variés et souvent dispensés par des professionnels (chefs d'entreprise, cadres, etc.).

Pros
Formation trilingue très professionnalisante.
Cons
Trop de changements dans les plannings de cours, qui parfois se chevauchent. Un peu galère!

Mon expérience à l'Université Jean Moulin: Lyon III
Bilel K
France,
Management Science, 2023
Overall
L'Université Lyon III est une structure qui favorise le développement personnel et intellectuel de ses étudiants. En effet, les cours sont tantôt dispensés par des professeurs savants, compétents et passionnés, tantôt par des intervenants qui excellent dans des domaines bien particuliers. C'est à mon sens, quelque chose que l'Université Lyon III à su intégrer à la perfection dans ses différents cursus, permettant à ses étudiants de bénéficier d'un bagage théorique solide, nuancé par l'approche plus pratique et réaliste des divers intervenants.

Careers
L'Université Jean Moulin: Lyon III propose des ressources intéressantes et exploitables, notamment sur le plan international. En effet, l'Université Jean Moulin dispose de partenariat avec d'autres universités partout dans le monde et a surtout su les intégrer dans ses divers cursus. Je pense notamment au Master LEA, mention Langues-Droit-Commerce qui propose à l'étudiant d'effectuer une année d'étude en France, puis une en Italie. L'étudiant obtient alors un double diplôme, un de la part de l'Université Lyon III et l'autre de l'Université de  Turin.

Possibility to complete a dual degree in Business Administration and Applied Foreign Languages (in my case, English and German)
Jane H
France, Graduate
Business Studies, 2022
Overall
First of all, I would like to state that the campus is nice for students: cafeteria with cheap prices, a big library with a wide selection of books, enjoyable classrooms. You can easily get help for career opportunities and the must at this University would be the selection of countries to go on Erasmus, or even worldwide. They have a lot of connections everywhere. 
For the studies, the more you stay the more there are interesting, especially in the master's degree.

Pros
Library, Student life, lots of events and conferences, perfect location
Cons
Few guest speakers during the courses, lots of students in the bachelor's degree

Personal spending habits
I spent more everywhere largely because the Euro was worth somewhere around 1.5 Canadian dollars. But I probably spent the same amount on food because I found inexpensive grocery stores and snacked a lot less than I snack in Canada. Also, in Canada there are plenty of places to eat early in the morning after a night of drinking, but not in France - nothing is open past 2am. So I wasn't even able to waste money on food at those hours. Mobile phone plans are expensive, unless you get a year's contract, but I couldn't since I was only on exchange for a semester. And obviously I spent more on travel because I'd never been to Europe before so I took advantage. But transportation is very reasonably priced in Europe.

Personal comments
Banks are confusing in France and policies vary from branch to branch when it comes to how they deal with exchange students. Never trust anything anyone says. Stay on top of your finances at all times. I thought I had set up an electricity account through the bank and it never happened. The electricity company cut my power after two months and it was annoying sorting things out.
