Exchanges between institutions and especially student mobility are mainly based on teaching titles and a number of ECTS. It is often complex for international relations and academic managers to understand the meaning of the competency frameworks of programs whose accreditations are national or European but rarely international. Finding a way to make an academic program understandable at a global / international level, remains challenging. Using an SDG approach can help. A first successful experience has been performed at UniLaSalle Rouen by applying the SDG competences to a batch of students from the international sustainable agriculture & food bachelor-master integrated (5yr )program.
