Buddy System

TANDEM - The sponsorship system wants a French student to welcome his "buddy" who has recently arrived in France, to help him in all his procedures, to make him discover the city, etc. Arriving in an unfamiliar country is always difficult: mastery of the language, a different environment, administrative procedures, sometimes laborious, etc. are all obstacles to overcome that deserve a boost.

The International Relations Department provides the Tandem platform to manage and coordinate the integration of new international students at the university. Once the contacting process is complete, the students benefit from a personalized welcome thanks to their "buddy or sponsor".
