Summer program
A unique opportunity to discover French/European “Agri-Culture”
The SSAP was created in 1995 to welcome American students from our US partner universities. Together, we designed this academic, multi-cultural program which has been continuously improved to match student wishes and academic requirements. Thanks to this, 739 students from many countries have lived this two-month international experience.

International exposure
When it comes to preparing future engineers for an increasingly globalised workplace and cluing them into the agricultural, economic and cultural realities surrounding them, PURPAN firmly believes in maximising their exposure to the international arena.
