The welcome desk is continuing its hybridization for this new year.
International students will be able to go directly to one of the 2 welcome desks, Aix-Schuman and Marseille Saint-Charles, and make 2 weeks of individual appointments with the welcome team.
On the menu for this flagship back-to-school event: individual assistance with all your administrative formalities, meetings with partners and orientation on the campuses.
The hybrid welcome desk: get help with all your formalities
From the end of August to the end of September, on the Marseille Saint Charles campus, and the Aix-en-Provence Schuman campus, the International Student Welcome team and its partners will be there to help you with everything you need to know!
You won't be available during this period? Make an individual appointment with the Welcome team on the Aix-en-Provence Schuman campus from September 9 to 13, and again from September 30 to October 4!
Are you from Marseille? Book an individual appointment from September 16 to 27.
