Promoting the formation of bonds throughout the academic year

The welcome morning kicks off with the enthusiasm of ESN DeVinci volunteers, ready to guide their peers through this new adventure. 

A friendly breakfast and lunch on the La Défense campus create an environment conducive to meeting and exchanging ideas among students. This relaxed atmosphere promotes the formation of bonds that will be valuable throughout the academic year.

An effort falling under the Bienvenue en France Label

This initiative is made feasible through the Bienvenue en France label acquired by the schools in 2020. This label, overseen by French authorities, seeks to enhance France’s appeal to international students.

Part of a comprehensive strategy to globally promote French higher education, the label streamlines administrative processes and elevates the quality of the welcome extended.

The school’s International Relations Department organizes Orientation Days, which are facilitated by the Welcome Desk, to give international students the best possible welcome.

The Welcome Desk: An essential ally

The welcome conference, led by the Welcome Desk, enlightens students on crucial administrative aspects of their stay.

The Welcome Desk is an essential ally, ready to assist with all administrative procedures, from visa validation to renewal and handling health insurance and banking formalities.
