An international welcome at the highest level: the University has been awarded the Bienvenue en France - Level 3 label
Attracting and supporting international talent is a key challenge for any university. By continuously improving its welcome arrangements, PSL University has enhanced its attractiveness and facilitated the integration of students from all over the world. This approach has just been recognised by the award of the Bienvenue en France - Level 3 label, the highest distinction awarded by Campus France.
24% of international students join PSL every year, and their numbers are set to grow with the development of an increasingly international range of courses, starting with the Paris School of AI and the future Paris School of Arts.
To promote their well-being and success, the University has made ongoing efforts since 2019, when it was first awarded the Bienvenue en France label. The PSL Welcome Desk has been structured and developed, anchored in student life and in constant liaison with the European University EELISA.
A label for excellence in welcoming international students
The University recently took another step forward by obtaining level 3 of the Bienvenue en France label, the highest distinction awarded by Campus France. The label, which is valid for five years, recognises institutions that are committed to continuous improvement in the way they welcome international students. It is based on a number of criteria: quality of information and communication, support systems, range of courses on offer, campus life, post-graduation follow-up and commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
This accolade testifies to its ongoing investment since it was first awarded the Welcome to France label in January 2019. Since then, marking the start of its formal commitment to improving the welcome for international students, various programmes have been put in place to support students from the moment they arrive and throughout their studies.
These include initiatives to create links on Partner@PSL, French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses at the language centre, and the development of PSL student life services such as health and accommodation.
