Launch of the “Bienvenue en France” Label (“Choose France certification”) campaign

At the request of its line ministries, on 31 January 2019 Campus France launched the first “Bienvenue en France” Label campaign. It is intended for French institutions that wish to promote their arrangements for hosting international students.

The “Bienvenue en France” Label will be used for institution communication and promotion purposes, aimed at an audience of international students who are increasingly demanding with regard to issues relating to reception. Moreover, the certification will be subject to the promotion, sharing and dissemination of good practices with all French higher education institutions, during events and through dedicated publications.

The certification describes concrete measures or actions that directly affect the everyday lives of international students. It will help international students understand what the institution has done to guarantee a suitable reception. A total of 20 indicators have been set. 

Institutions that wish to obtain the certification should visit the page on Campus France’s website dedicated to the "Bienvenue en France” Label. The page contains information on the application process, the indicators taken into account and the advantages of holding the certification.
