Back-to-school events

• Welcome Days from September to October

An unmissable event, the Welcome Days take place twice a year, in September and in January, for the benefit of international students (individually and as part of an exchange program). During this period, the University of Lille offers a varied and rich program of activities for these students. International students can take advantage of these days to meet, discuss, discover the university, the city of Lille, and French culture.

This year, the Welcome Days will take place over 3 themed days from September 28th to 30th, 2021, at the Maison Internationale (Campus Cité Scientifique), a place entirely dedicated to international students.

• The day for external partners and university services
• The intercultural day (associative workshops, presentation of the university student associations, and film-debate session)
• The friendly day: discovery of the city of Lille

These three days will take place at the International House.

Buddy System

The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) association has set up a buddy system program for international students. Any international student who wishes can register and ESN will take care of finding a sponsor or a Lille student sponsor who shares the same interests. His/her mission will be to help him/her with administrative procedures and, if possible, to welcome him/her at the station.
