ESSCA is proud to announce the renewal of its prestigious “Bienvenue en France” label, awarded by Campus France for a further five years.
The ‘Bienvenue en France’ Label: Recognising Excellence in Welcoming International Students
This distinction recognises higher education institutions that demonstrate excellence in welcoming and supporting international students. Introduced in 2019 by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the label reflects three key ambitions:
- Transparency – providing clear, practical information to international students about their experience in France
- Quality – certifying the standards of reception and showcasing best practices across French institutions
- Culture of Hospitality – promoting inclusive and welcoming environments within universities and schools
Accreditation Criteria for the ‘Bienvenue en France’ Label
To earn this recognition, institutions must meet rigorous criteria, including the accessibility of information and services, personalised support for international students, housing and campus life quality, and post-graduation follow-up.
The labelling committee commended ESSCA’s strong commitment to continuous improvement in its international student experience.
It is therefore recognised as one of the French schools that best welcomes international students.
This achievement perfectly aligns with the strategic plan KAIROS 2030, which aims to offer one of the best environments for work, research, and learning in Europe.
