A look back on our International Welcome Days

Published on October 1, 2025

The 2025 edition of the International Welcome Days supported more than 400 international students as they settled in at UPEC. The program featured a Welcome Desk to guide them through administrative procedures, along with a wide range of activities designed to familiarize them with the university, its services, and the Paris region.

The International Welcome Days, UPEC's welcome program for international students, took place from September 4 to 26, 2025.

Highlights included:

A Welcome Desk during the first three weeks of the academic year, which provided international students with access to student advisors, university services, and representatives from the French National Health Insurance (CPAM) and the Val-de-Marne housing and family benefits office (Caf), making it easier to complete all administrative procedures related to settling in France
An official welcome session led by the Office of International Affairs, which offered students a comprehensive introduction to the university
A campus tour, designed as a scavenger hunt, that invited students to explore the university's key services
An outdoor multisport afternoon, organized by the SUAPS (University Physical and Sports Activities Service), held in the park by Créteil's Lake
An intercultural awareness workshop which encouraged dialogue on diversity and inclusion, bringing international and local students together through collaborative exchanges
Students Meet-Ups and Paris outings, including a Seine river cruise and a student party
