Providing an experience of the highest quality for our international students
What is the "Bienvenue en France" (welcome to France) label?
The "Bienvenue en France" label was established through a the desire to make France more attractive to international students and to guarantee them the best conditions for their higher education. Campus France set the initiative in motion in February 2019. It enables accredited institutions to highlight the efforts they make in terms of welcoming, and supporting international students, and helping them to fit in to their new university.
This label is based in particular on quality and accessibility indicators:
- information
- recruitment and reception procedures
- the training offer and teaching support
- campus life and housing
- post-graduate follow-up
The label "Bienvenue en France" at IMT Atlantique
After responding to all of the indicators evaluated, IMT Atlantique was awarded 3 stars, which is the highest level. The label was awarded for 4 years (2020-2024) by Campus France and validated by an independent commission.
With nearly 40% international students and more than 70 nationalities represented, IMT Atlantique has always prioritised the internationalisation of its campuses.
A few examples of actions implemented by IMT Atlantique
