Welcoming international students
In order to contribute to the University's internationalisation policy, the International Relations Office has made welcoming international students a priority. A Welcome Charter for international students was drawn up in 2000. The Office facilitates administrative procedures for international students, providing a link between the Prefecture and the staff responsible for residence permits in different schools and faculties. Welcome and integration sessions are organised for all international students at the beginning of every semester.
