With 63,000 students, 4,500 staff and 119 laboratories, Université Paris Cité is part of the fabric of a global city. Paris Cité uses the Online Welcome Desk Platform, a tool, available in French and English, which provides international students with unique features including an interactive map locating useful services in the vicinity of the university, such as housing, transportation, and public administration buildings. 

The roll-out of this platform is also playing a key part in Paris Cité’s endeavors to obtain the « Bienvenue en France » label, awarded by Campus France for a period of five years to universities who are committed to showcasing their welcoming facilities, and validated by an independent commission. 

Moreover, the university provides international students with the all-in-one platform, LivinFrance, which provides assistance in finding housing, opening a bank account, attaining health insurance, applying for a visa, and more. Students can benefit from personalized support and access to webinars and tutorials in both English and French.
