CEA Study Abroad in the French Riviera

Program Description

With more than 300 sunny days a year, beautiful vineyards, world-class museums and galleries, sandy beaches and a sub-tropical climate, the French Riviera is the perfect spot hone your French language skills, broaden your perspective and enhance your resume. CEA offers a diverse selection of programs, excursions and activities to help you create a study abroad experience that will exceed your academic and personal expectations!
Nestled in the South of France at the crossroads of the Alps, Italy, Provence, and Monaco, the stunning city of Sophia Antipolis has drawn visitors from around the world for centuries, including luminaries such as Hemingway, Chanel, and Picasso. But the French Riviera has a lot more to offer than beautiful scenery—it is also home to the first European Science and Technology Park, built in the image of Silicon Valley, the AACSB accredited SKEMA Business School and Centre International d’Antibes, one of the best French language teaching centers in France.
Available programs include:
• Science & Engineering
• Business, Communications & Liberal Arts
• French Language & Culture
• Business Studies
Whether you immerse yourself in the French language, or focus on science, engineering and business courses, you’ll gain invaluable knowledge and experience both in and out of the classroom. And whatever CEA French Riviera program you choose, there are always CEA internships, volunteer and service learning opportunities to further enrich your experience.

Highlights

In addition to its amazing scenery and acclaimed universities, the French Riviera is also well known for being home to the Cannes Film Festival. CEA students have the opportunity to engage in a hands-on internship (and mingle with the stars) during this world-famous event. It’s just one of the many highlights you’ll experience with a CEA study abroad adventure in the French Riviera! And whichever CEA Study Abroad program you choose in the French Riviera, the experiences you collect—both academically and personally—will enrich your resume, broaden your perspective, and change your life!
