As part of the “Bienvenue en France” strategy, Campus France was charge with the responsibility to implement the “Bienvenue en France” certification, which determines a quality standard for the policy of foreign students’ intake in French higher education institution.

This Certification aims at being an information tool for international students about the true conditions of student intake in institutions, a promotion tool for international students listing initiatives taken by institutions in this industry, and a quality process to improve greeting arrangements in institutions.

This is a critical challenge for the internationalisation and drawing power of higher education, and many institutions chose to commit directly to the improvement process of international students’ reception.
