Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

ENSP’s international policy focuses on the two strategic goals described below: - increasing the international opening of the trainings which is essential to the contemporary practice as a Landscape Architect. This cultural opening occurs at every level of the proposed training, i.e. through outgoing and incoming study and teaching mobilities (SMS, SMP, STA) as well as through the organization of teaching modules (workshops, study trips…) - consolidating the place and the international recognition of ENSP as a reference institution in the field of Landscape Architecture, linked with the major European and worldwide teaching programmes in this field. Although it is a small-scaled institution, ENSP enjoys an international reputation thanks to its historical background and to the successive generations of landscape architects trained or teaching at ENSP. ENSP leads its action by: - developing active partnerships in the landscape architecture field, - developing the support of student mobilities, - the European programme EMiLA (European Masters in Landscape Architecture) with 4 partner institutions (ESALA Edinburgh, LUH Hanover, ETSAB Barcelona, AHK Amsterdam), ENSP being the lead partner, - enhancing the participation to the international teaching and research networks in landscape architecture (IFLA, ECLAS, JoLA) (networks and international publication in the field of landscape architecture). ENSP gives priority to exchanges with universities or higher education institutions offering programmes in landscape design at the Postgraduate and PhD levels and where project-oriented design teaching in studios represents 50% of the total teaching programme. ENSP follows the recommendation of the European section of the International Federation of Landscape Architecture (IFLA) while selecting future partners, - strengthening through its partnerships the international recognition of the Landscape Architect profession, - - strengthening its reputation in design and research by developing at ENSP a residence for international Landscape Architects at Villa Le Nôtre (teachers or professionals) 11 bilateral Erasmus+ agreements are currently active in Germany, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Slovenia and Portugal. Exchanges are also offered with Australia (RMIT Melbourne). 21 students from Versailles and Marseilles ENSP’s sites participated to a study mobility during the 2014 Erasmus Convention, 16 of them were 2nd year master students and 5 of them 1st master year students, which represents respectively 24% and 8% each of the total number of students of each year. 57% of these students benefitted from national grants based on social criteria. The final goal is to offer to each student the possibility to have an international mobility experience (study or placement). ENSP makes every effort to support incoming and outgoing students. A whole day is dedicated to international mobility each year on both sites (Versailles and Marseilles) with the presentation of the partners universities and their programmes and during which students coming back from study mobility share their mobility experience. An orientation day is also organized for incoming students with a visit of the institution, introduction to the other regular students. An international office is also dedicated to the information and support of incoming and outgoing students before, during and after their mobility. Outgoing students are very satisfied with their mobility period during which they could face up to different teaching methods, a new approach of their work and of their future Landscape Architect profession. They are the best promoters of the Erasmus+ programme among their fellow students.
