Welcome charter for international students

The Catholic University of Lille is committed to paying a detailed attention to their foreign students. This is presented partly and/or totality by their courses of studies in each of the establishments which makes up the entire university.

In order to reserve them the best possible welcome, to guarantee them a harmonious integration, and to provide the entire university community with a beneficial intercultural climate of exchange, the people of the Catholic University of Lille promise to:

1. To listen to every requests of information from their foreign students, and to quickly answer the questions, in a comprehendible fashion for a person coming from a different cultural context.

2. To ensure a personalized welcome for the foreign students by devoting the time necessary to their physical settlement and their integration within the establishment which welcomes them.

3. To recognize "all of their duties" to the foreign students:
- To give them the means to express and share the cultural and spiritual richness that they carry
- To associate them with the structures representing the student/associative life.

4. To accompany the foreign students in order to facilitate their administrative steps with the Catholic University of Lille as well with their exchange partners. Among the faculty/staff and students of the university there are designated “peer facilitators” whose purpose is to help the in coming international students.

In accordance with the human and Christian values which inspire them, the members of the Catholic University of Lille consider that the foreign students and their rich linguistics, cultural, spiritual and differences, help invite a universal openness to their institution.
