You will also need to do some careful research on the Auvergne-Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes universities in order to write a convincing application.<\/p>\n-->\n\n<!-- \n<p>You must also check what further application materials may be required by your home university\u2019s International Office.<\/p>\n -->\n\n<p>Please check with the International Office at your home university regarding their internal application process and deadlines.
