The ambition of the CEERRF is to allow all its students to benefit from the contribution of international exchanges.
Clearly anchored in the European area of higher education and research, the CEERRF aims to become, at the international level, a major academic player in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation, renowned for the quality of its training and research.

To carry out this ambition, the CEERRF has set up an international office responsible for deploying its international strategy and supporting students, teachers and staff in the internationalization of training.
Any student registered with the CEERRF now has the possibility of benefiting from a period of internship and/or studies in Europe and/or abroad. These periods are an integral part of his training and validate the corresponding ECTS.
Similarly, any CEERRF teacher has the opportunity to interact with international trainers in order to design joint lessons, exchange on emerging knowledge, develop comparative approaches to care and optimize the training system with the appropriation of validated rehabilitation protocols, little or unknown in France.
At CEERRF, openness to the world is thought of as a toolbox that will allow future graduates to adapt to the rapid evolution of knowledge, to develop their professional practice and ultimately contribute to a system of healthcare at the service of the best possible care for its users.
For future graduates, international exchanges have a double dimension that the CEERRF intends to promote:
In addition, this policy of openness to the world greatly contributes to nurturing the sensitivity of tomorrow’s physiotherapists to the cultural dimension of care, which is reflected in particular by taking into account the patient’s cultural context and respecting the codes to which he is not accustomed.
This approach is perfectly in line with the individualization of care and the development of clinical reasoning, two major trends in contemporary physiotherapy.
« At CEERRF, the international is designed as an additional lever to promote the enrichment of practices and relationships between health actors »

CEERRF has joined the Erasmus+ program for higher education. As of 2023-2024, all students willing to leave in european and international mobility, will be able to benefit from a scholarship from the Erasmus+ program of the European Union.
Today, CEERRF relies on a solid base of European and international partners (Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United States, Japan, Australia, Canada), reflecting its expertise and its resolutely international outlook. CEERRF’s International Office supports both students and staff in the administrative and linguistic preparation of their mobility.
Studying/Working Abroad with CEERRF
CEERRF’s international mobility programs are no longer limited to internships alone: they now involve both students and administrative and teaching staff, through several different formats.
For students: an international internship at the start of the 4th year (semester 7, from mid-August to late September) or during the “clinicat” internship in the last semester (semester 10) of the 5th year; but also study mobility, long or short, including in hybrid format with a virtual component (BIP). Does your project not quite fit within these windows? CEERRF remains open to considering any mobility project, regardless of the intended timeframe.
For staff and teachers: training or teaching mobility with one of our European partners, for durations ranging from a few days to two months.
Both students and staff are informed of the required formalities from the start of the academic year, and are supported by the International Office at every step.

Come and study at CEERRF
Opening up to the world also means being glad to welcome European and international students and staff on mobility programs, whether for internships, studies, or training. Established in 2021, CEERRF’s International Office welcomes European and international students and teachers eager to discover French physiotherapy, and supports them throughout their mobility process, before, during, and after. It is also an opportunity for them to share their own expertise, know-how, and educational innovations — as CEERRF remains ever open to enriching new practices.
Any mobility request must be sent to the international office using the dedicated contact form. An information pack is available for download below.
