Welcome to France

Arriving in a new country can be stressful. For this reason, many institutions have set up systems to support newly arrived international students. The features of those systems vary but often include an airport pickup, reserved housing, individualized guidance, tutoring, and instruction in French as a foreign language. By offering such support, France's PRES, universities, and schools endeavor to be at your service.

The CampusFrance catalog provides descriptions of international support services at every institution that offers them. Click here to learn more about support services offered at French institutions of higher education.
