While you are studying at the UBO (University of Western Brittany), you will remain a student of your originating university. This means that you must have enrolled in your university before leaving to come to the UBO. There must be careful preparation for your instruction and your stay at our university:- You must, in agreement with the member of the academic staff responsible for your instruction, draw up a detailed programme in writing of the studies you are going to undertake at UBO. You must ensure that the course or programme of instruction that you are going to follow at UBO is recognised and has the academic approval of your originating university. It is the originating university that will, on the basis of the results you obtain, issue your final qualification.

Université de Bretagne Occidentale review by tweety2678
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? easy to get in contact with other people, even if not french people. easy to get information about, everything arranged from home country.
Personal comments:
the rooms are very small, but as i am not in my room very often (quite a lot to see here), i don't really mind. all in all quite good although living together with the other people is sometimes quite annoying (in terms of cleanliness of toilets and showers). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

OVERALL

I wish I had known...

Most people loved it.

Personal recommendation:
you have to accept the different teaching methods in france, but you get used to them quite easily. more school-like! FINAL COMMENTS
The UBO is quite a nice university to study at. If you want to come to Brest you should not be addicted to sun because you won't see much of it! Brest itself is not a nice city (apart from the Port de Plaisance), but if you take the chance to see much of the surroundings you will enjoy it! And it's very useful to come here by car!!!
