With two orientation weeks and welcome meetings dedicated to incoming students organised each year, the university is deeply committed to accompanying and supporting foreign students upon their arrival. Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University also welcomes international professors and administrative staff members as part of specific programmes.
In 2020, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University was awarded the “Bienvenue en France – Choose France” label (PDF – 1.91 MB) (two-star level), which certifies the quality of actions carried out by the university to improve the hospitality and the integration of international students. This label is based on 20 indicators broadly grouped in five categories: quality and accessibility of information, orientation and welcome services, academic programmes, housing and campus life, and post-graduation follow-up of international students.
