Everything was new to me and I don’t speak a word of French. I got paired with a French student through the buddy system, that helped a lot. Many thanks from Turkey!

A Project Led by Study in France
Since its creation, Study in France has been driven by a clear mission: to improve the welcome and integration of international students in France. To achieve this goal, we focus on several key areas:
🎯 Simplifying the preparation process — Visas, housing, administrative procedures… We guide students through each step to make their arrival as smooth and stress-free as possible.
🎯 Breaking language barriers — Our platform is multilingual, with content available in French, English, German, Chinese, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
🎯 Providing reliable and transparent information — We take pride in delivering accurate, well-sourced, and educational content. Every resource is independently written to ensure objective and useful information.
🎯 Encouraging integration on campus — We highlight student associations, promote French language learning (FLE), and facilitate interactions between local and international students to foster a welcoming environment.
The Student Hub: A Key Asset for the Bienvenue en France Label
The Bienvenue en France label, launched by Campus France in late 2018, recognizes institutions that offer a high-quality welcome for international students.
Today, more than 180 institutions have been awarded the label and actively contribute to improving student support in France.
With the Student Hub, a number of these criteria are already covered. By 2028, our goal is to meet 12 indicators, including 10 “welcome package” criteria, to help institutions enhance their support. Campus France evaluates several criteria, including:
- A one-stop student support service
- A comprehensive welcome guide
- A multilingual website
- Integration and orientation events
- And 24 other indicators detailed in their reference framework
Our Vision
Currently in its beta version, the Student Hub is already available in Rennes, and its rollout is expanding. While we can’t reveal everything just yet, we can confidently say we’ll be busy until 2028!
And that’s just the beginning — we have many more projects in the works and can’t wait to share them with you! 😊 Here’s what’s coming next:
- A nationwide expansion: the Student Hub will soon be available in Paris, Marseille, Lyon and around thirty other student cities. Many features are also planned, and some are already visible on our roadmap.
- A housing search platform dedicated to international students: it’s one of the biggest challenges for mobile students — a barrier we want to remove by building a platform exclusively for an international audience.
- A tool to make the job search easier: we’re developing a multilingual platform that centralises job, internship and apprenticeship offers to ease students’ entry into the working world.
