The University's services

Until the in-person teachings and campus life fully resume,  PSL's academic and administrative teams remain dedicated to ensuring education and to support the community members in difficult situations. Here is an overview of the main services offered:

In partnership with Biogroup laboratory, the tests are available two days a week, between 2 p.m and 5 p.m. on two different campus locations.
